Product Overview
The Ship To Shore Crane (STS Crane) is a large-scale container handling system designed for loading and unloading containers between vessels and quayside. It is widely used in modern ports and container terminals for high-efficiency and high-capacity operations.
This crane adopts a robust gantry structure with a boom system, allowing it to reach over large container ships with extended front outreach and stable rear counterbalance. Equipped with a high-performance trolley and container spreader, it can handle 20’, 40’, and 45’ containers with precision and speed.
With advanced control systems and high-speed lifting and travelling mechanisms, the STS crane ensures fast cycle times, improved productivity, and reliable operation. Its heavy-duty design and intelligent automation capabilities make it an essential piece of equipment for modern container terminals.
