Following the announcement last year to replace it’s rail head gantry cranes at Birmingham, Freightliner Ltd have made a further £4 million investment in two new cranes for it’s Manchester terminal.

As part of a similar deal to the two Birmingham cranes on order, Liebherr Container Cranes Ltd, the leading manufacturer of container cranes in Europe will soon begin production of a further two rail head gantry cranes. These are due for installation at Freightliner’s terminal in Trafford Park in Spring 2009.
Peter Maybury, Managing Director, Freightliner Ltd: “Our terminal network and associated equipment clearly differentiates the Freightliner product from other rail borne offerings in the market and is key to our position as market leader. It is therefore crucial that we continue to invest in our terminals, to ensure that our customers receive the highest standards possible, and these new cranes are evidence of this.”
