WH Auctioneers to host timed online auction of four refurbished Liebherr gantry cranes
Leading Southern African asset auctioneer WH Auctioneers is pleased to announce a timed online auction of four operational Liebherr ship-to-shore container gantry cranes, on behalf of Transnet National Ports Authority. The auction closes at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, and will offer ports and cargo handling operators a rare opportunity to acquire mid-life, rail-mounted gantry cranes — fully operational and refurbished — located at South Quay, Durban Harbour, in KwaZulu-Natal.
