Buttimer Group is delighted to announce the launch of the DOCKSOLID™ brand name for its range of bespoke bulk port equipment. The brand has been developed to differentiate the high-quality, reliable port equipment that Buttimer have been designing and fabricating for decades - and clarify its core attributes to the international market place.
The DOCKSOLID brand stands for well-engineered, reliable equipment with three core attributes: State-of-the-art environmental controls, flexibility of use & manoeuvrability, and well-engineered structural design for strength and longevity. These are encapsulated in the brand's tagline: Clean. Flexible. Robust.
The brand was launched in early May 2014, to coincide with the order to two ship unloading hoppers designed for ABP, to be delivered to the Port of Hull in the coming weeks.
The Port of Hull, part of the Associated British Ports (ABP) group, has ordered two DOCKSOLID loaders, to handle biomass at the Port of Hull. The units will be designed and fabricated at Buttimer Group's workshops in Cahir, Ireland.
When completed, commissioned and ready for operations, they will be shipped from the Port of Cork to the Port of Hull. The two DOCKSOLID loaders will boast state-of-the-art dust prevention and suppression technologies as well as the equipment's famous steering design for tight-space manoeuvrability and flexibility.
An all-wheel-drive mobile shiploader has been delivered to ArcelorMittal in Liberia. The system, whos innovative chassis that drives in straight, parallel and radial modes was designed by Buttimer Group, is designed to load iron ore at a rate of 2,000 TPH at the port of Buchanan.
The Shiploader was designed in partnership between Buttimer Group and Telestack ltd., a mobile equipment producer based in Omagh, Northern Ireland.
