What is container stacking crane?

A container stacking crane, also known as a container handling gantry crane or a container crane, is a specialized piece of equipment used in ports and container terminals to efficiently load and unload shipping containers from ships and stack them in storage yards.
These cranes are typically large and powerful, capable of lifting and moving containers of various sizes and weights. They are designed with a tall, sturdy frame and have a trolley system with spreader bars or hooks that can grip and lift containers off the ground. Container stacking cranes are equipped with wheels or tracks to move along rails and can travel between the storage yard and the quayside to effectively transfer containers.
Container stacking cranes play a crucial role in facilitating the fast and efficient movement of containers within a port or terminal, allowing for quick turnaround times for vessels and effective management of container storage.
