Post-panamax container gantry crane (ship-to-shore)
SUPERTAINER™ Paceco

As container volumes and vessel capacities continue to grow worldwide, it is becoming necessary to adopt high productivity container handling systems. The SUPERTAINER crane is a high productivity quay crane that employs three trolleys: two hoist trolleys, and one traverser. The SUPERTAINER crane deploys three trolleys to perform container movements. A single trolley focuses on operating on the container vessel. Another trolley, located landside, focuses on containers on the terminal trucks. The traverser transports containers between these two trolleys. The SUPERTAINER crane therefore divides all operations amongst three trolleys, reducing the movement time for each container and improving overall productivity. The SUPERTAINER crane is capable of operating at more than twice the productivity of a conventional quay crane: up to 85 moves per hour.

SUPERTAINER Crane Features:
- Reduced Delays from Sway: Hoist Trolleys do not perform excessive lateral movement, drastically reducing sway
- Internal Buffer: The Multiple Trolleys provides a natural buffer between crane and terminal truck operaitons.
