Demag Cranes received the order to supply eight fully automated process cranes and a warehouse management system from the Chinese company Anhui Shanying Paper Industry Co. Ltd. The cranes will be used in what will be in future the largest paper-roll shipping store in the world, constructed by Shanying Paper at its headquarters in Maanshan/China. In the store, the rolls produced by two new paper machines will be stored temporarily and prepared for shipping. The required high handling rates will be achieved by virtue of the fact that the cranes are equipped with mechanical roll clamps, which can hold up to four rolls at a time. Commissioning of the store is planned for the end of 2012.
Lu Zhao Jin, Vice General Manager of Shanying Paper states, “The investment in a new paper-roll shipping store forms an essential component of our rigorous growth strategy. With Demag Cranes we are focusing on a reliable partner with first-class references for this large-scale project.”
