Transford 有限责任公司（Transford）于2020年第三季度订购了两台高效节能环保的科尼Gottwald港口门式起重机，用于其在黑海附近的格鲁吉亚西南海岸的波季港的业务运作。起重机将于2021年年底交付并调试，用于装卸集装箱和散装货。

In the third quarter of 2020, Transford LLC (Transford) ordered two eco-efficient Konecranes Gottwald Portal Harbor Cranes for their operations in Poti on the southwestern coast of Georgia by the Black Sea. With delivery and commissioning planned for the end of 2021, the cranes will handle both containers and bulk materials.

两台新型起重机将是科尼Gottwald 4型港口门式起重机，属于G HSK 4440机型。其最大起升能力高达100吨，具有稳健的起重量曲线，最大工作半径达46米，具有巴拿马型集装箱船所需的外伸距。轻量化单臂设计和超高的工作速度有助于提高散装货物装卸效率。专为用户度身打造的门架每角均配备10个车轮，以满足当地的轨道负载要求。起重机配备外部电源，在减少当地排放和噪音的同时降低能源和维护成本。

The two new cranes will be Konecranes Gottwald Model 4 Portal Harbor Cranes. They are G HSK 4440 variants, giving a maximum lifting capacity of up to 100 t, a strong lifting capacity curve and a working radius of up to 46 m, with the outreach needed for container ships up to Panamax class. Its light, single-jib design and high working speed makes it highly productive and efficient for bulk cargo handling. The customized portals have 10 travel wheels on each portal corner to meet local rail load requirements. The cranes are equipped with an external power supply, eliminating local emissions and reducing energy and maintenance costs while simultaneously reducing noise.

“最初，我们想要购买不同类型的起重机。后来，一些当地的业界人士告诉我们，科尼集团提供性能卓越的起重机。随后，我们根据一系列移动式起重机类型展开调查研究。我们发现，科尼集团的确能够提供我们所需的高效、可靠、定制型起重机。这类起重机有助于减少停机时间，提高备件供应力。”

“At first, we were looking for a different type of crane .Then some local industry contacts told us very good things about Konecranes. We investigated and found that Konecranes was able to provide the efficiency, reliability and customization we require, based on a serial mobile crane type, which gives us reduced downtime and high spare part availability.”

Transford创立于2010年，隶属于PACE集团（格鲁吉亚最大的运输公司），专业从事波季港装卸和仓储业务。作为主要港口和工业中心，波季港经铁路与300公里开外的首都第比利斯相连。格鲁吉亚正在稳步发展成为该地区的国际运输走廊。Transford专注于集装箱和散装货物装卸服务。随着业务的不断拓展，Transford决定为其在港口运营的四个泊位再购置两台起重机。

Transford was founded in 2010 as an affiliate of PACE Group, Georgia’s largest transportation company, to provide stevedoring and storage services at the Poti Sea Port. The town is a major port and industrial center, with a railway connection to the capital Tbilisi over 300 km away. Georgia is steadily developing into an international transport corridor for the region. Transford focuses on container and bulk cargo handling, and with business expanding they decided to acquire two more cranes for the four berths they operate in the port.

“赢得新客户订单是令人激动的一件事。”科尼港口解决方案区域销售经理Hans-Juergen Schneider对此有感而发。“令我们感到自豪的是，Transford对我们的移动式港口起重机技术信赖有加，并对我们满足起重机门架平台特定需求的能力信心倍增。客户口碑始终是市场营销不可或缺的一部分。令人欣慰的是，这一地区的其他客户对我们的品牌承诺和卓越服务感到满意，因而对我们的产品大加赞赏。”

Good word of mouth is always the most convincing form of marketing, and I’m glad that our other customers in the area are satisfied with our commitment and service, and therefore spoke well of us.”
