Receive and identify
Confirm container size, gross handling load, arrival mode and the assigned stack position before a move is released.
PORTS & LOGISTICS / LIFTING SOLUTIONS
Container Terminal and Logistics Crane Solutions
Keep container moves predictable across the yard, rail and warehouse.

THE LIFTING SOLUTION
One handling route from truck or rail to the correct yard position.
A terminal crane must work with the yard geometry, vehicle flow, container sizes and operating schedule. Rail-mounted gantry cranes can be specified with positioning, anti-sway, remote monitoring and interchangeable lifting attachments when the workflow requires them.
The terminal solution starts with the site plan: rail gauge, truck lanes, stacking blocks, transfer points and container mix. A rail-mounted gantry crane spans the active lanes and uses a spreader matched to the containers. Positioning and anti-sway functions support repeatable moves, while vehicle safeguards and monitoring are configured at the truck interface. Warehousing or mixed-cargo duties are treated as separate handling cells with their own attachments and identification logic.
HANDLING SEQUENCE
How the solution works.
Follow the load through the operation to see where lifting equipment, tooling and controls must work together.
Lift at the transfer lane
Align the spreader and crane travel with truck or rail clearances, visibility and the agreed interlock sequence.
Travel and stack
Coordinate lift height, anti-sway behavior and positioning with the lane layout and planned stacking height.
Return or dispatch
Use operating data and location records to support retrieval, outbound transfer and exception handling.
HANDLING APPLICATIONS
Different loads call for different lifting arrangements.
Define the material, handling cycle and working zone before fixing the crane arrangement.
Container stacking
Size the rail span, stacking height, end approaches and spreader around the terminal's actual lane and stack layout.
Truck and rail interface
Coordinate crane travel, vehicle detection, anti-lift safeguards and operating visibility at each transfer point.
Warehouse automation
Link load identification, location data and task scheduling to the physical lifting and storage sequence.
ENGINEERING DECISIONS
What determines the final configuration?
These choices affect safety, process fit and the operating life of the installation.
Yard geometry first
The rail span, cantilever, wheel loads and stack clearance come from the real block and traffic layout, not from a nominal container size alone.
Vehicle-interface protection
Define truck detection, anti-lift behavior, travel limits and operator sight lines at each transfer lane.
Automation with recovery
Set the required positioning, monitoring and data interfaces together with a safe manual recovery procedure for interrupted moves.

PROJECT 01
Taicang Port
Two rail-mounted container gantry cranes were delivered with variable-frequency drives, Siemens PLC control, remote monitoring, anti-sway and truck anti-lift functions.
PROJECT 02
Dongfanghong Luoyang inland port
A customized rail-mounted container gantry crane was delivered with anti-sway control and interchangeable attachment arrangement for different cargo duties.
PROJECT 03
Automated cold-store handling
A warehouse concept for garlic storage uses identified large bins, dedicated lifting attachments and automatic stacking and retrieval, reducing manual handling in the cold store.

SPECIFICATION BRIEF
What we need to size your crane.
Send the operating brief and the relevant layout drawings. The resulting proposal can address capacity, geometry, duty, controls, installation interface and safety requirements as one system.
Prepare your enquiry ↗- 01Container sizes and gross handling load
- 02Rail gauge, runway length, stacking height and lane clearances
- 03Moves per hour, peak utilization and availability target
- 04Spreader, grab or other attachment interchange needs
- 05Required automation, anti-sway, truck safeguards and monitoring
BUYER QUESTIONS
Before the specification is fixed.
What information is needed to size a container gantry crane?
Provide container types, gross load, rail gauge, runway length, stack height, traffic lanes, operating cycles and the site power scheme.
Can handling be automated in stages?
Yes. The required positioning, monitoring, safety interlocks and data interfaces should be defined in the initial control architecture, even if some functions are commissioned later.
