Port of Manaus operator Super Terminais Comercio e Industria Ltda (Super Terminais) has placed a repeat order for three Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 pedestal-mounted cranes. The deal was booked in Q2 2025, with handover scheduled for Q3 2026.

Super Terminais is repeating its landmark 2021 purchase of the first three Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 mobile harbor cranes ever produced. The cranes' exceptional handling performance and reliability over the past four years has laid the foundation of trust for this latest deal.

With a maximum reach of 64 meters and a strong lifting capacity curve, the pedestal-mounted cranes can handle containers and general cargo on vessels as large as super-post-Panamax class. These capabilities are needed as the terminal adapts to increasing volumes and the steady arrival of large ships. The cranes can be connected to an onshore electricity supply to minimize emissions.

"The Amazon region is now receiving megaships carrying very heavy loads and the Manaus Free Trade zone economy is growing fast. This is why we've again chosen these powerful, reliable and eco-efficient machines from Konecranes - doubling our handling capacity while keeping emissions under control and also meeting the demands of our customers," says Marcello Di Gregorio, Director of Super Terminais.

Gateway to the upper Amazon basin, the Port of Manaus plays a vital role in northern Brazil's trade flows. Super Terminais has operated at the port for more than 25 years. The company's decision to invest in additional Konecranes equipment reflects long-term confidence in a partnership that supports regional growth and the sustainability of the operations inside Super Terminais.

"Repeat business is the strongest validation of trust. These cranes are engineered to perform in tough conditions, such as high humidity, extreme heat and on a floating pier. We're proud to support Super Terminais with a solution tailored to their demanding operational needs in the Amazon region," says Alfredo Cañibano Ramos, Regional Sales Manager at Konecranes.

This contract is part of Ecolifting, Konecranes' vision to increase its handprint - meaning the beneficial environmental impact that can be achieved with our product and service portfolio - while reducing customers' carbon footprints. From eco-optimizing diesel drives, to hybridization and fully-electrified fleets, we will continue to do more with less. 

A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
