Technology

The silhouette of a Mantsinen material handler is a common sight at the largest and busiest ports world-wide. The roots of the Mantsinen machines are planted into the thick soil of practical operations. Thanks to our advanced technologies your work will be more precise, more productive and more profitable – with less effort.

We have perfected our machinery over the past decades as there were no other suitable machines available to meet our own high demands, which has led to today’s turn key solutions offered by the Mantsinen team.

The combination of this operational experience and world-class engineering know-how create unique solutions for efficient handling operations. With our deep knowledge, we can optimise your operation and machine configuration.

We can lower maintenance costs and increase production yields per unit of input. Improvements in operation and process reliability can also lead to reductions in equipment downtime, shutdowns, or system failures.

Machine accuracy and load controllability reduce the risk of damaged goods. The load can be positioned precisely, and usually without additional machinery in the hold. This has been noticed to reduce damage to the goods by 80 percent, while productivity has doubled compared to the traditional harbor cranes.

Mantsinen machines are equipped with an advanced MANTSINEN SAFETY SYSTEM as a standard. There is an overload and stability control function, as well as cabin collision prevention with warning and automatic motion cutoff functions. To get precise function of the safety system, there is a possibility to program end customer attachments to the system. Real time load, reach and height information is provided on the graphic user interface, which features a graphic animation of the machine’s operation.

Mantsinen began the testing and development of the Hybrilift already in 2006. With Hybrilift, the energy created by lowering of the booms is accumulated and reused, which significantly reduces the fuel consumption and emissions. Once the main boom is lowered, oil is pumped from a cylinder to pressure accumulators where the gas pressure increases, and energy is accumulated.

This stored energy is used to raise the boom and stick. More load will be lifted with less energy. Mantsinen Hybrilift material handlers have smaller diesel engines or electric motors as their traditional counterparts. This improves fuel economy and lowers emissions, as well as reduces service costs.
