Description
Container crane is a type of professional handling equipment for containers. Thus it is also called container handling crane. It consists of a supporting framework that can traverse the length of a dock or yard, and a moving platform called spreader. The spreader of container crane can be lowered down on top of a container and locked onto the container's four locking points (corner castings), using a twist lock mechanism. Container handling cranes normally transport a single container one time.

Types
1. Container handling cranes are generally classified by their lifting capacity, and the size of the ships they work with. Our company has rubber-tyred gantry container crane, rail-mounted gantry crane and shore container handling crane.
2. Container cranes can be powered by two types of power supply. One is by a diesel-engine driven generator located on top of the crane, and the other is by electric power network.
Operation
The container handling crane is driven by an operator that sits in a cabin suspended from the trolley. The trolley runs along rails that are located on top or sides of the boom and girder. The operator runs the trolley over the ship to lift the containers. Once the spreader locks onto the container, the container is lifted and moved over the dock and placed on a truck chassis (trailer) then taken to the storage yard. The container crane will also lift containers from chassis on the dock to ships.
