Background Introduction The world’s first automated container terminal commenced operations in the Netherlands in 1993, ushering in the era of automated container terminal construction. However, prior to 2013, automated terminal development was primarily concentrated in regions such as Europe and North America. It wasn’t until 2014 that Xiamen Yuhai Terminal […]

The operational efficiency of a container STS crane is largely determined by the performance of each of its components. Key mechanisms include the gantry mechanism, the trolley mechanism, and the hoisting mechanism. As a vital component, the trolley mechanism primarily supports the wire rope to prevent excessive sway during lifting operations.

Wire ropes are extensively utilized in the hoisting, luffing, and trolley traction mechanisms of container STS cranes. As the primary flexible component in container STS crane operations, they offer advantages such as high load-bearing capacity, excellent flexibility, smooth transmission, impact resistance, noise-free operation during high-speed movement, and reliable safety. With advancements

Introduction Container crane hook engagement (hereinafter referred to as hook engagement) collectively refers to situations during container handling operations where, due to various reasons, the crane hook becomes hooked or interferes with fixed structures (such as container guide rails in the ship’s hold or containers fixed to the ship) during

Introduction  Due to operational errors or other factors, hazardous situations may arise where the container truck starts moving before the container is fully unlocked during unloading or before the container is fully locked after engaging the container during loading. This can result in the spreader and its attachments being dragged,
