Stewart & Stevenson Inc.

Appointed Distributors

For MWM Series 500 Engines

Pictured from left to right—after concluding a marketing ses- sion on MWM Big Bore Diesels—are Carsey Manning, vice president and general manager of Stewart & Stevenson; Ben- ton Elliott, senior vice president of MWM Large Bore Division; and Joe Manning, president of Stewart & Stevenson.

Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc., of

Houston has been appointed distributors for

MWM Series 500 Diesel, Gas and Dual Fuel

Engines, as well as MWM Series 400 Marine diesel, stationary Gas and Dual Fuel Engines for major North American and Latin Ameri- can markets. The 500 Series, introduced in 1975, is unique in that it was specifically de- signed from the ground up to successfully op- erate when burning heavy, low-grade fuels.

The responsibility for providing parts and ser- vice support for large bore MWM Engines sold in the aforementioned markets has also been accepted by Stewart & Stevenson Services,

Inc.

In making the announcement, Carsey

Manning, vice president and general man- ager of Stewart & Stevenson, said: "We were attracted to MWM because they have proven engines in the higher horsepower ranges, and this is a market where we are expanding our activities. The MWM engines have good flexi- bility as they burn #2 diesel fuel, heavy fuel up to 3,500 RI and natural gas. In addition, this line of equipment can be operated on duel fuels for even greater cost efficiencies. These benefits plus the more than 100 million hours of proven reliability made MWM Engines our choice to add to Stewart & Stevenson's world- wide manufacturing and marketing opera- tions."

According to Benton H. Elliott, senior vice president of MWM Large Bore Division in

North America, the first step in his marketing plan was to establish a Distribution and Ser- vices & Support Network. He stated, "The as- sociation with Stewart & Stevenson Services,

Inc., completes this phase and places MWM in a very strong position to supply the needs of the high-horsepower, big-bore engine users."

Kone To Build Multi- purpose Double-Boom Crane

For Port Of Jacksonville

Kone Corporation of Finland will manu- facture one of the world's largest multi-pur- pose double-boom cranes for harbor use under a contract awarded by the Jacksonville Port

Authority in Florida. In addition to its record heavy-load lifting capacity of 100 long tons,

Kone reports that the crane will be the first of its type to go into operation in an American harbor. Delivery is set for spring 1985.

The multi-purpose crane concept, as pi-

May 15,1984 oneered and refined by Kone, increases the versatility and flexibility of ports' quays. One crane can handle a great variety of commodi- ties, regardless of any specialized handling equipment they may require. The crane's ca- pability covers not only general cargo, heavy loads and bulk materials, but all sizes of con- tainers as well as continuous, high-speed op- eration. Idle time is reduced, while the amount of efficient usage increases.
