Bayan Resources

The Challenge:
Maintaining High-Volume Coal Unloading with Maximum Availability

Balikpapan Coal Terminal handles coal arriving by barge from Bayan Resources’ different mine sites before it is transported to stockpile and ultimately loaded into large ocean-going vessels. The unloading operation therefore requires equipment capable of handling large volumes of coal efficiently and consistently. The E-Cranes typically unload 8,000 DWT deck barges, making both high throughput and dependable equipment availability essential to maintaining material flow through the terminal. Given the intensive operating schedule, Bayan also needed a maintenance strategy capable of supporting long-term crane performance and minimizing unplanned downtime.

“Next Generation Coal Handling has come to Balikpapan!”

The Solution:
High-Capacity Coal Unloading Backed by Full Maintenance Support

Bayan Resources implemented two E-Cranes as part of the coal unloading operation at Balikpapan Coal Terminal. The installation combines high-capacity barge unloading with local maintenance support designed to keep both machines consistently available.

The solution includes:

Two 2000 Series E-Cranes, each with a design unloading capacity of 1,500 tons per hour.
A 15 m³ clamshell grab and 20-ton lift capacity, configured for unloading coal from deck barges.
A Fixed Pedestal configuration, with the E-Cranes typically unloading 8,000 DWT deck barges into two hoppers, with hopper selection depending on the crane’s swing angle.
A full maintenance contract through E-Crane’s Balikpapan service center, covering scheduled and corrective maintenance and parts, with the exception of daily maintenance.
