The port crane is a machine for handling and moving heavy loads. Among the many different types of port crane, NauticExpo offers luffing jib, level luffing, mobile articulated cranes, etc.
Port cranes are used for loading and unloading all types of ship's cargo: containers, palletized, bulk, etc.
The port crane generally consists of a tower on a mobile base riding on tires, rails or caterpillar treads. Its arm is equipped with a system of cables and hooks for cargo handling. The operator's cab can sit at the base or higher up on the crane.
Choice will depend primarily on the crane's load capacity and the type of cargo to be handled. Another factor is the crane's duty class and duty cycle rating, measured in lifts per hour.
