    HHLA TK Estonia AS has purchased two battery-powered Rubber-Tired Gantry cranes from Konecranes, according to a report from Hellenic Shipping News. The cranes are engineered to function for entire operational shifts using their battery systems.

    The 296-kWh battery allows for roughly eight hours of independent use. This purchase, recorded in the final quarter of 2025, is set for delivery in the last quarter of 2026. The six-lane cranes will be used for moving containers at the Port of Muuga.

    This move is part of a larger investment by the terminal into a more environmentally efficient container yard. Energy will be supplied through a 25-meter busbar charging system, enabling the cranes to operate without tailpipe emissions and with less noise.

    The investment supports the HHLA Group’s sustainability goals, which include phasing out diesel equipment to lower terminal emissions. This order marks the first shipment of RTGs with a battery of this capacity to Europe from Konecranes, intended to power full shifts at Muuga.

    The terminal already uses several Konecranes machines, including two RTGs, three Ship-to-Shore cranes, and one Rail-Mounted Gantry crane. A company official noted positive past experience with the manufacturer’s reliable equipment and support, stating that replacing older models with these new battery-electric units aids modernization while keeping fleet operations consistent.

    For Konecranes, the order signifies progress in applying high-capacity battery technology in active container terminals. It also highlights the terminal’s role as a development partner for testing new yard solutions. A company representative stated that close cooperation facilitates moving development projects into real-world performance, showing battery technology is now capable of full-scale operational use rather than just mitigating emissions.

    The contract aligns with Konecranes’ broader framework for reducing emissions from port operations, which includes various power options from renewable diesel to full electrification. The company’s focus on customer needs, growth, and technological investment supports its position in the material handling sector.
