is durable and insensitive to envi- ronmental conditions. The star han- dle control can be fitted to hoists with carrying capacities of up to 15 tons.

J.D. Neuhaus offers pneumatic monorail hoists with lifting capaci- ties of up to 100 tons with 6 bar working pressures. JDN pneumatic hoists use compressed air, as op- posed to electricity, as their working medium and are suitable for opera- tion in areas where there is danger of explosion.

Furthermore, all JDN pneumatic hoists can be built into trolleys for the lifting and traversing of loads.

JDN trolleys are available with lift- ing capacities of up to 100 tons.

ORENSTEIN & KOPPEL

O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG Ta- gebau und Schiffstechnik, Lubeck,

West Germany, has been building deck cranes for over 20 years. The company offers single or double deck cranes and double joint and gantry cranes in electrohydraulic or all electric models with lifting ca- pacities from 5 to 100 tons.

O&K achieved a major technolog- ical breakthrough with the intro- duction of the double-jointed cranes for on-board container handling.

The essence of the O&K concept is that the two joints allow container movement through the arc of a cir- cle, whereas standard luffing cranes move cargo around the circumfer- ence of a circle. O&K claims that its double-jointed cranes can achieve almost double the load cycles possi- ble with standard cranes.

The O&K Anlagen und Systeme division of O&K Orenstein & Kop- pel AG has received an order for crane equipment for two reefer ships being built at Bremer Vulkan

AG's shipyard in Bremen.

The order comprises four Gemini double deck cranes with a hoisting capacity of 2 x 18 tons each, at 83.3 feet outreach. In double crane oper- ation, loads of up to 35.4 tons per double crane can be lifted. This crane concept allows rapid handling of pallets, as well as 20- and 40-foot containers.

In a unique installation, two O&K container deck cranes were fitted aboard American shipowner Matson

Navigation's recently delivered con- tainer barge Islander. Each of the cranes aboard the 387-foot barge has a lifting capacity of 40 metric tons at a working radius of 30 me- ters, and is equipped with a load turning device, telescoping spreader and computerized program control.

The cranes will allow the handling of containers independent of quay- side facilities.
