I-Kenya Railways ithenge i-telescopic crane eza kusetyenziselwa ukubuyisela izithuthi ezivalelekileyo okanye eziphumileyo kuloliwe waseMombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway.
I-crane, eyafika kwi-Port yaseMombasa ngoNovemba 1, yenye yeekhreyini ezimbini zokucocwa kwenkunkuma eziza kunikezelwa ngobunjineli, ukuthengwa kunye nokwakha ikontraka ye-China Road kunye neBridge Corporation (CRBC) njengenxalenye yesivumelwano neKenya.
I-crane ixhotyiswe nge-injini ye-diesel-hydraulic, inomgangatho ophezulu wokuphakamisa iitoni ze-160, kunye nobomi obuqikelelwayo benkonzo ye-70 iminyaka.
Ikhreyini inokusetyenziselwa ukuphakamisa izixhobo okanye ukulayisha emabaleni okanye emacaleni, kwaye isenokusetyenziswa ukuphakamisa ii-slabs zomkhondo kunye neendawo zokulala ngexesha lokulungiswa kwendlela.
Ukuthintela ukuhamba ngengozi ngexesha lokusebenza, i-crane ixhotyiswe nge-hydraulic braking system kwaye isebenzisa i-outriggers ukuphucula ukuzinza.
I-crane itsalwa yi-locomotive yetrektara kwaye inokuhamba ngesantya esifikelela kwi-120 km/h, nto leyo eyenza kube lula ukuyihambisa kwindawo oyifunayo.
