Port handling equipment

Port handling equipment: equipment designed for demanding environments

Dockside operations require exceptionally robust machinery. The saline environment, wind, and continuous work cycles necessitate the use of specialized equipment. Our selection of port handling equipment precisely meets these technical and climatic requirements.

The main port handling equipment

The diversity of goods passing through ports demands a versatile fleet. Essential equipment includes the port reach stacker , indispensable for container storage, and the mobile port crane , ideal for bulk cargo and heavy packages. For horizontal movement within the terminal, straddle carriers and port tractors complete the fleet. Finally, the port forklift remains a valuable asset for local logistics and the movement of large industrial components within storage areas.

Machines adapted for heavy loads and intensive production rates

Heavy port equipment is not chosen at random. It must guarantee maximum availability despite harsh operating conditions. Our machines are designed to withstand marine corrosion and to lift heavy loads in port with millimeter precision. Whether handling steel, timber, or containers, the stability and hydraulic power of our equipment ensure the essential continuity of service to prevent bottlenecks at terminals.

Port reach stacker and container handling

The container remains the standard unit of global maritime transport. To manage these volumes, the use of specialized equipment such as the reach stacker has become the norm in most modern terminals.

Why choose a reach stacker for a container terminal?

Flexibility is this machine's key advantage. Unlike a fixed gantry crane, the reach stacker moves easily along the dock and allows containers to be stacked at various heights and depths. This capability optimizes storage space, a resource often critical in ports. It's a container handling solution for ports that combines speed and maneuverability, enabling the efficient handling of trucks and railcars.
