Container Handling

Container terminals handle thousands of containers every day, and the efficiency of container movement directly affects port productivity, operating costs, and delivery schedules. Among the various types of container handling equipment, the container straddle carrier has become an important solution for ports, intermodal terminals, and logistics yards that require flexible container transportation and stacking capabilities. … Read more

Rail freight terminals face a different set of handling challenges from seaports and conventional warehouses. Containers arrive on rail wagons, need to be transferred to trucks or storage areas, and may remain in the yard for hours or several days before their next movement. At the same time, rail tracks create fixed operating corridors that … Read more

Container terminals and inland logistics hubs handle a wide variety of cargo types within the same facility. During a single shift, operators regularly switch between moving standard dry van containers and liquid tank containers, often called ISO tanks. This mixed workflow presents specific handling requirements. Standard containers require fast cycle times and dense stacking, while … Read more

The CIS region covers a massive landmass. It connects key trade routes between Europe and Asia. Consequently, container terminals here face intense daily workloads. To handle this traffic, you need highly durable equipment. A standard gantry crane might seem like a quick solution. However, standard models often fail to deliver long-term results in this region. … Read more

In container terminal operations, Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) crane productivity is typically measured by Moves Per Hour (MPH) or Gross Crane Productivity (GCP). While terminal operators invest heavily in high-speed hoisting systems, advanced anti-sway technology, and automated steering, these hardware advantages are frequently neutralized by a silent productivity killer: container micro-shuffling. Unlike macro-marshalling – which … Read more
