Barge Material Handling
Faster Barge Unloading — Save Money on Demurrage Cost
Average Cycle Times of 2 to 4 per Minute
Norris Manufacturing Barge Material Handlers are customized to meet your needs. We extend booms and sticks, elevate cabs, and affix the right bucket so your operators spend less time craning their necks and more time operating their crane.
- Faster barge unloading times lowers your costs on demurrage, labor, parts, and more
- Less moving parts, no cables, and no clutches means less breakage, less repairs, and more time spent unloading.
- Save on demurrage costs by speeding up your barge unloading time with a Norris Manufacturing crane custom designed for your dock.
- Hydraulic material handlers are easier to operate which means it is easier to find operators.
