Jacksonville port selling two container cranes

Jacksonville port selling two container cranes The Port of Jacksonville is offering two of its used gantry cranes for sale to make way for new post-Panamax cranes it plans to acquire to meet anticipated increases in container volumes.
   The two cranes are both 40-long-ton cranes with 50-foot gantry rail gauge widths. Each crane comes with an expandable spreader bar for 20-foot or 40-foot containers.
   One crane was manufactured by Paceco Corp. in 1979 and purchased by the port in 1998. It has since been upgraded, with a new elevator, new boom structure, storm brakes, hurricane tie-downs and a snag-load protection device.
   The other crane was manufactured by Alliance Machine Co. The 'A-Frame' crane was purchased by the port in 1972, and it has been upgraded with a new elevator, new boom pendants, storm brakes, hoist drum emergency disc brakes, hurricane tie-downs and a snag-load protection device.
