PRODUCTS & CASES

Ship-to-Shore (STS) Quay Crane is a large-scale container handling machine specially designed for efficient loading and unloading operations between container vessels and quay terminals. It is the key equipment in modern container ports, enabling fast and precise transfer of containers from ships to the yard or from the yard onto vessels.

The STS quay crane is designed, manufactured, and inspected according to international standards including FEM, DIN, IEC, AWS, and GB. It mainly consists of a steel structure, electrical control system, hoisting mechanism, trolley traveling mechanism, boom luffing mechanism, trolley assembly, operator cabin, and safety protection devices.

Equipped with advanced AC variable frequency drive technology, PLC control systems, and intelligent container positioning functions, the quay crane provides smooth operation, high positioning accuracy, energy efficiency, and reliable performance. It supports various container spreader configurations, including single and twin-lift spreaders, to meet different terminal handling requirements.

With lifting capacities ranging from 35 tons to 65 tons, STS quay cranes are widely used in container ports, marine terminals, and logistics hubs where high-efficiency container handling is required.

STS Quay Cranes are mainly used in large container terminals and ports for ship loading and unloading operations.
