Most international trade is done in standard containers. To meet the demands of 24/7 work, sea and river port container terminals, rail and road terminals require efficient, reliable and harsh-environment electric container handling equipment.
Ship-to-shore container cranes, rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMG) and rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTG) play a key role in the handling of containers. Larger container ships require larger, faster and more reliable container cranes with higher reliance on electrical components. In order to reduce fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, port container handling equipment is completing the transition from internal combustion engines to electric drives.
