Cemex UK has taken delivery of a new Fuchs crane for its Dagenham Wharf (London) site on the river Thames.
The crane digs material out of ships on the river and puts it onto a conveyor that takes the material to the land side where it is stocked and sold out by trucks to the London market.
"The crane means that we can provide an extra sales line at the wharf from other Quarries such as our own Raynes Quarry in North Wales," Cemex says.
"It is all part of our strategy to grow the aggregates business. Whilst the actual unloading will be done by contractors, wharf manager, Jamie Keeble and assistant manager, Steve Batty, will be responsible for the overall operations and maintenance. This is a great investment in our relatively new Dagenham Wharf which for many years was a derelict site," Cemex says iun a statement.
