The Ship To Shore Quay Crane is the core equipment for port container loading and unloading at port terminal shore.
The Ship To Shore Quay Crane is the core equipment for port container loading and unloading at port terminal shore. Its outstanding advantage is its efficient vertical and horizontal transportation capability. VOITTO Crane is a global STS crane manufacturer and supplier.
The Ship to shore Quay Crane is fixed to the quay shore and is used directly for loading and unloading containers between the ship and the quay. It is also suitable for the transfer between ocean-going ships and railway or road transport vehicles. It has a tall gantry structure and long cantilever. It adopts real-time tracking and has variable frequency multi-drive feedback. It can optimize efficiency and expand working scope.

1. Ports and Terminals: In ports, the Ship to Shore quay cranes efficiently load or unload containers from ships. Their high-speed trolleys and precise hoisting mechanisms reduce ship turnaround times. They can easily handle a large volume of containers daily and improve overall port productivity. In busy international ports, these STS cranes quickly transfer containers between vessels and the dock, boosting port throughput.
2. Logistics and Warehousing: In large-scale logistics centers and warehouses, these STS cranes streamline operations. They stack containers in yards, making optimal use of space. They can quickly retrieve stored containers and load outgoing ones onto trucks. This ensures smooth inventory management and rapid movement of goods. In distribution centers, they can streamline container movement. They can also optimize storage space and accelerate order fulfillment processes.
3. Manufacturing Plants: The STS crane is essential in manufacturing plants. It especially deals with large-scale production and heavy components. For example, in an automotive manufacturing plant, the gantry cranes move large automotive parts between different production areas. They accurately place components, ensuring efficient assembly line processes and minimizing production delays.

Large gantry cranes are typically shipped overseas through modular disassembly, where the crane is broken down into major components (beams, legs, hoists) for containerized transport. For mega-cranes, we use specialized heavy-lift vessels equipped with reinforced decks, and critical parts are protected with anti-corrosion coatings during transit.
Our gantry cranes support global voltage standards to ensure seamless operation worldwide. Solve any concerns you have about voltage.
A gantry crane is a large lifting equipment. It uses mechanical and electrical coordination to move goods from point A to point B. With high load capacity and space adaptability, it has become the first choice for many outdoor handling and lifting work. This article will systematically explain to you how does a gantry crane work and their application scenarios, helping you to become familiar with this large lifting equipment so that you can make a choice. What Is A Gantry Crane? Gantry cranes are composed of two vertical columns and a horizontal main beam connected at the top, forming a movable gantry frame. Its distinctive feature is that it has a structural frame similar to the “gate” shape. Therefore, it is called a gantry crane. How Does A Gantry Crane Work The main structure of a gantry crane consists of a top main beam across the working area and two outriggers, which are movable or fixed along the ground track. When working, the motor drives the lifting mechanism to vertically lift the hook or grabber to lift the goods. The trolley…
In the world of material handling and heavy lifting, gantry cranes and bridge cranes are two of the most widely used and popular types of lifting machines. Although both excel in accurately moving large loads, their unique shapes and applications are somewhat different. This article takes a deep dive into the differences between the two types of cranes to help you determine and familiarize yourself with which type is best for your industrial needs. Structural Differences between Bridge Crane and Gantry Crane. When choosing a crane, it’s crucial to understand the structural differences between bridge cranes and gantry cranes. Although both types of cranes handle or move heavy loads, their structures and support mechanisms are very different. The structural differences between bridge cranes and gantry cranes will be explained in detail next: Bridge Crane: Bridge cranes are mainly composed of main beams, end beams, lifting trolleys or electric hoists, hoisting mechanisms, and other structures. Because its two ends are located in the concrete column or metal support, the shape is like a bridge, so it is called an overhead Travelling crane.…
Gantry cranes are important lifting equipment in modern industry and logistics. They are widely used in ports, railways, construction sites, and other places because of their stable structure, wide operating range, and strong carrying capacity. Different types of gantry cranes have their own characteristics in design and application, which can meet diverse lifting needs. If you don’t know which gantry crane is suitable for your use scenario, this article will systematically introduce different types of gantry cranes and their characteristics to help you understand the selection and application scenarios of this key equipment. What Is A Gantry Crane? A Gantry crane gantry frame structure consists of a main beam across the horizontal direction, vertically supported legs on both sides, and other structures such as the lifting system and cab. Its legs and main beam form a solid portal frame structure, so it is called a gantry bridge crane. What Is A Gantry Crane Used For? Gantry cranes are mainly used in harbor container handling, large-scale material handling, hydropower engineering, railroad manufacturing, and other projects, with a variety of functions, which can effectively complete…
