This raised the question of what kind of equipment has crawler tracks that big? The answer is a dock-side material handler. Since this is the second one that is being delivered to this dock, I found a video of the construction of the first handler.

| 3:57 video via sennebogen @ 3:31, cropped Sennebogen 895 E Hybrid - Assembly and Operation The 895 E is the largest Material Handler in the world - The specific machine is the largest 895 E built to date, weighing in at just under 1 million lbs. Visit us at: www.TylerEquipment.com for more details. Machine Info: Groundbreaking dimensions - extreme power: The SENNEBOGEN 895 E Hybrid impresses with an operating weight of around 420 t and a reach of up to 40 m. It is the giant of the port handling machines with an impressive amount of handling power when it comes to moving scrap and coal. The double Green Hybrid system makes the largest material handler in the world more efficient during operation. |
An earlier view showed that the barge crane is the WEEKS 533. I've seen WEEKS cranes help build the Cuomo Bridge and salvage the Francis Scott Key wreckage.

They built the upper body assembly that we see in the above view on the barge before they lifted it and attached it to the gantry base on the dock. The largest component of that assembly was the boom.

The pan attachment is used to load material into a ship.

Lucibello Heavy Equipment photography posted five photo with the comment: "Gateway Terminals two Sennebogen 895s hard at work loading out a bulk carrier with scrap. Checkout the Payhauler 350s passing underneath the machines."
Steven Stang: I find it awesome the Payhauler is still going and not been replaced
Jim Mack: Those trucks and the older models of the same brand work very well there…. Need the short truck to be able to turn around at the end of the pier.. Getting difficult to find those and also difficult getting parts.
