A ship-to-shore cranes are used to move heavy cranes from ship to shore, such as tall cargo ships, bulk carriers, docks, barge, and cruise ships. They can be used in any environment, as the equipment is robust and designed for long term use. The crane system consists of various systems, such as boom lift cylinders, deck platforms, mast, boom arms, and winch drive. Cranes are typically powered either hydraulically or pneumatically and are commonly found on big ships, docks, barges, cargo ships, and cruise ships. A dock crane is a specialized type of sea-going Gantry crane usually located on large docks for unloading and loading cargo from ship-to-shore containers from large container ships.
Ship-to-shore cranes are ideal for lifting and moving heavier objects. These types of cranes are normally used for unloading and loading shipping containers and pallets from shore. These cranes are also used for smaller scale lifting and moving jobs. These cranes are generally used when a crane lift is not feasible for a short period of time, due to weather conditions, or the area where the crane will be placed is limited.
Ship-to-shore cranes are also used in some mining applications, where long runs of access to a site must be made. In these cases, a crane system that can be moved around the site is preferred. It is important that these cranes are able to move along a ground without incident, so that the access area does not become restricted due to weather conditions. Since the crane system is moving the crane, it needs to be able to climb over ledges, and negotiate difficult terrain.
The demand for ship-to-shore cranes is high in the U.S., owing to increasing container volumes. For instance, in January 2021, Inland Port Greer, the South Carolina Ports Authority’s rail-served port in upstate South Carolina, recorded 13,401 rail moves and a 16% hike year-over-year.
