Mobile harbour cranes are versatile, heavy-duty machines designed for efficient and flexible cargo handling in ports and harbours. They play a crucial role in the shipping industry by facilitating the loading and unloading of various types of cargo, such as containers, bulk materials, and heavy lift items.
The portal container crane is characterized by its unique "portal" structure, which consists of a horizontal overhead beam supported by two vertical columns on either side. This structure allows the crane to straddle over multiple rows of containers, rail tracks, or trucks, providing flexibility and efficient use of space within the port.
