A floating crane is a high-performance lifting machine mounted on a floating platform, designed to operate in marine environments such as ports, harbors, or offshore zones. Its primary function is to lift and transfer extremely heavy loads, including shipping containers, construction materials, and industrial equipment, from ship to shore and vice versa.
Floating cranes play a key role in enhancing efficiency across shipping, logistics, and offshore construction. Whether you’re managing cargo operations at sea or working in tight port spaces, these cranes offer flexibility, high load capacities, and safe operation on water.
Port Cranes: Boosting Terminal Efficiency
In addition to floating cranes, port cranes are vital components of any modern harbor terminal. These heavy-duty industrial machines are specifically engineered to load and unload cargo—especially containers—efficiently from vessels of all sizes.
Core Functions of Port Cranes:
- Container Loading & Unloading
STS (Ship-to-Shore) and RTG (Rubber-Tired Gantry) cranes ensure seamless container transfer from ships to terminal yards. - Cargo Movement Within Port Yards
Mobile port cranes and gantry systems provide flexibility for internal logistics, moving containers and cargo quickly and safely. - Bulk Cargo Handling
Designed to manage both unitized and bulk materials, port cranes are adaptable to a wide range of cargo types. - Support for Shipping Operations
From faster turnaround times to improved safety, these cranes are indispensable for streamlined maritime logistics.
