Port cranes

Port-based products include the massive Goliath shipyard cranes, ship-to-shore and bulk handling cranes for vessel loading & unloading, and all types of container handling cranes – ranging from rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG’s) to lift trucks designed to handle full or empty containers and lift up to 80 tons.

Container crane

The modern container shipping industry is booming because of the provision for faster voyages and less port stays. The major factor for this “quick work” is the introduction of the new types of gantry cranes in the market which is quicker and more reliable. This provides a great turnaround time for cargo operation at ports.

A container gantry crane is the biggest crane which is used in the operation sector of the shipping industry. It is designed for loading and unloading the container cargo from a container vessel.

The crane is operated by a specially trained crane operator from within the cabin located on the top end of the crane and suspended from the trolley. It is the operator who lifts the container from the ship or dock for unloading or loading of cargo. It is very important for both the ship and the shore staff (gantry operator, stevedores and foremen) to be alert and to maintain proper communication between them to avoid any accidents.
