STS Container Cranes

Efficient container handling

Ship-to-Shore Cranes perform logistical feats to enable efficient loading and unloading of vessels every day. Given the continuous growth of cargo handling by sea and the ever-increasing size of container ships, optimised cranes are essential to ensure efficient container handling.

Motorized cable reels

Motorized cable reels by Hartmann & König are used to supply energy and data to STS cranes, thereby enabling short cycle times due to high lifting and trolley speeds as well as horizontal flexibility of the crane itself. Since space is often limited, we construct width winding cable reels for fast vertical spreader movements. Wherever possible, we provide spiral winding motor cable reels to enable higher trolley speeds.

Ship loaders and unloaders

Ship loaders and unloaders for ocean-going ships and inland waterway vessels have been designed to optimize and maximise economic handling of bulk materials. A wide range of rail mounted loading and unloading machines of each size installed at berths enable efficient handling of bulk goods. Motorized cable reels by Hartmann & König are designed to accomplish numerous tasks that include horizontal movements, distances up to 60 m, acceleration of 0.2 m/s2 and slip ring assemblies of up to 1000 A.
