A quay gantry crane is a type of crane
used in port and container terminals to
load and unload container ships. It is a
large crane that runs on rails along the
quay, which is the area where ships dock.
The gantry crane is mounted on beams
that span the width of the dock, allowing
it to move from side to side to reach
containers on different parts of the ship.
It is often operated by a trained operator
from a cabin or control room, who uses a
variety of controls to move the crane and
lift and place containers onto trucks or
other transportation vehicles. Quay gantry
cranes are essential for efficient and safe cargo handling at ports and are designed
cargo handling at ports and are designed
to handle containers of all sizes and
weights.
