Variable-frequency drives
Variable-frequency regulation supports controlled crane movement and container positioning across the handling route.
PORT & LOGISTICS / PROJECT CASE
Two Rail-Mounted Container Gantry Cranes for Taicang Port
Henan Mine Crane delivered two rail-mounted container gantry cranes for Taicang Port. Variable-frequency travel, Siemens PLC control and yard-focused safety functions were configured for container handling at the truck and stack interface.

ApplicationContainer terminal
LocationTaicang Port, China
Delivered fleet2 gantry cranes
Crane typeRail-mounted container gantry
01THE HANDLING TASK
Coordinate crane moves with terminal traffic.
Container handling at a port requires repeatable positioning above trucks and stacks while keeping the vehicle interface controlled. The Taicang Port project called for rail-mounted gantry cranes with motion control, spreader guidance, remote monitoring and safeguards against lifting a truck with a container.
02CRANE CONFIGURATION
Control functions specified for the yard.
Siemens PLC and remote monitoring
The delivered cranes include Siemens PLC control and RCMS remote monitoring and operation functions.
Anti-sway and spreader guidance
Anti-sway, automatic container seeking, spreader zero-position monitoring and automatic guidance support alignment during pickup and set-down.
Truck anti-lift protection
A truck anti-lift function is part of the project safety arrangement. The lifting mechanism uses a ring trolley; the spreader arrangement supports changes between handling tasks.

04 / PROCUREMENT BRIEF
Size your crane around the yard.
For a comparable container crane, send the site plan and handling schedule so the rail span, lift height, spreader and safeguards can be engineered together.
- 01Container sizes, gross handling loads and attachment changes.
- 02Rail gauge, runway length, cantilever and stack layout.
- 03Truck lanes, transfer points, clearances and required anti-lift interlocks.
- 04Lift height, target moves per hour and operating shifts.
- 05Power supply, wind conditions and maintenance access.
- 06Required monitoring, positioning, anti-sway and operating modes.
