How many containers can a crane unload?

The number of containers a crane can unload depends on several factors such as the size and capacity of the crane, the size and weight of the containers, the layout and design of the terminal, and the level of automation in the process.
The most common type of crane used in container handling is the ship-to-shore (STS) crane, which is typically found in maritime terminals. An STS crane can handle up to 40 containers per hour, depending on the size and weight of the containers. The crane operator positions the crane’s spreader device over the container, and the crane lifts it from the ship’s deck and places it onto the terminal.
In addition to STS cranes, there are other types of cranes used in container handling, such as rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes, straddle carriers, and reach stackers. These types of cranes are used in container yards to move and stack containers within the terminal. Depending on the type and design of the crane, these cranes can handle between 20 and 60 containers per hour.
Overall, the number of containers a crane can unload depends on various factors such as the crane’s size and capacity, the terminal’s design and layout, and the level of automation in the process
