LTI Introduces New System

For Moving Ship Sections —Literature Available

The Mount Taygetos, a 60,470-dwt bulk carrier, was delivered recently to the Metro- ship Corp. of Greece by Hitachi Zosen's

Hiroshima shipyard, Innoshima.

The Mount Taygetos is one of Hitachi

Zosen's economical Panamax standardized bulk carriers — the largest capable of sail- ing through the Panama Canal. It is de- signed to carry various kinds of bulk cargo including grain, ore, and coal. The ship's upper wing tanks may take on grain, thus increasing its carrying capacity.

The main propulsion is then provided by a Hitachi B&W 7L67GA-type diesel engine with a derating control of engine output.

The bulk carrier is fitted with an HZ nozzle for improved propulsion efficiency.

The vessel measures 224.50 meters long overall, with a breadth of 32.20 meters, and a designed full-load draft of 12.40 meters.

Ship modules can be moved by LTI's newly introduced semi-trailers that are hauled by forklifts.

LTI America Corp. of Riverdale, N.J., re- cently introduced a unique range of forklift truck-hauled semi-trailers.

These hydraulically operated, easily towed, self-loading and unloading trailers with ca- pacities from 10 to 300 tons stretch the load-moving capacity of standard forklift trucks up to 10 times their normal design limits. A brochure illustrating a variety of applications has been published by LTI.

The trailer — easily hooked up to the forklift — is backed in under the load. The trailer platform is then raised hydraulically using the forklift's hydraulic system. At the maximum height, the lifting cylinders are completely relieved through a system of linkage arms, and the forklift is ready to transport the load to the desired location.

The brochure shows how the movement of heavy loads, typical in the steel fabri- cating, steel warehousing, heavy metals, offshore oil, and shipbuilding industries, can easily and economically be accomplished by existing personnel and equipment without assistance of expensive mobile cranes and lowloaders.
