Port container gantry crane

What is this?

The port container gantry crane is a large crane specifically designed for container yard handling operations. Through the lifting and moving of the spreader, combined with crane traveling along yard rails, it achieves stacking, loading/unloading, and handling of 20-foot, 40-foot, and 45-foot containers. If you are managing a port terminal, railway container yard, or inland depot, and need a container-specific crane with high stacking capacity, fast operating efficiency, and reliable safety, this product is designed for you.

Why choose a container gantry crane over a standard gantry crane?

Compared to standard gantry cranes, the container gantry crane offers five core advantages:

First, dedicated spreader – equipped with a container-specific telescopic spreader that automatically adapts to 20-foot, 40-foot, 45-foot, and other box types without the need for spreader replacement.

Second, stronger stacking capacity – high lifting height allows stacking of 4 to 6 layers of containers, making full use of yard space.

Third, higher operational efficiency – fast crane and trolley traveling speeds, combined with rapid spreader landing and locking, achieve single-unit operational efficiency of 25-35 containers per hour.

Fourth, precise anti-sway control – standard anti-sway system limits spreader swing to within ±50mm, achieving fast and precise positioning.

Fifth, high level of intelligence – optional intelligent functions such as automatic container identification, crane positioning and anti-collision, and yard management system integration.

Improve container yard operational efficiency with more professional configuration.

What can we do for you?

We understand that every yard has different container volumes, different stacking heights, and different operating modes. Therefore, we offer flexible customization options: lifting capacity from 30 tons to 65 tons; span from 18 meters to 50 meters (covering 6 to 10 rows of containers); stacking height options of 4 layers, 5 layers, or 6 layers; lifting height customized according to stacking height; control options of cabin or remote radio combined with cabin. Whether your yard is a seaport terminal, railway yard, or inland depot, we can match the most suitable span and stacking capacity.

Unsure? Don't know?

Not sure what span and stacking height are needed to meet your yard capacity? Not sure what type of spreader is required? No problem. Just tell us: your yard area, design stacking height, annual container throughput, and main container types (20-foot/40-foot).
