Container Handling Cranes
Container handling cranes are essential for ensuring seamless port operations. These large machines play a vital role in modern global trade, as they are specifically designed to lift and move containers between ships, the shore, and yards.
Technical Specifications
Types of Container Handling Cranes
Two types of container-handling cranes that are commonly used Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes and Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes.
Handling and managing containers is no small feat, which is precisely where Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes come into the picture. These engineering marvels are meticulously designed to operate and manoeuvre colossal ships with superior precision. Equipped with high-speed hoisting and trolley moving systems and cutting-edge automation, STS cranes ensure seamless container movement, reducing vessel turnaround times to a minimum. Our STS cranes come with features like extended outreach for wide-beam vessels, dual or multi-lift capabilities, and energy-efficient operations, boosting productivity & championing modern environmental standards.
Applications of STS Cranes
- Loading and unloading containers on large cargo ships.
- Supporting high throughput in busy terminals.
- Working in combination with yard cranes to facilitate faster container handling.
When it comes to transporting and stacking containers with flexibility and precision, RTG cranes are the most reliable choice. These rubber-tyred cranes offer excellent mobility, allowing them to move smoothly across various terminal layouts. Whether you prefer manual operation, semi-automated precision, or fully automated configurations, we provide RTG cranes that enhance container stacking and port operations.
Applications of RTG
- Organizing and stacking containers in the yard.
- Relocating and retrieving containers for ships, trucks, or trains.
- Supporting high throughput in busy terminals.
