Container Lifting Techniques Several container lifting techniques are employed depending on the situation and equipment available. Here are some common methods: Forklifts: Forklifts equipped with container spreader attachments are commonly used for lifting and moving containers within a terminal or storage facility. They are versatile and well

Analysis of energy usage for RTG cranes

Each container that is lifted has to be lowered and this inertial energy can be recovered. In container cranes powered by electricity from the grid this recovered energy can be reused on the same crane, put back into the grid or used locally elsewhere in the port. In order to design a suitable and efficient energy storage system for an RTG

Supervisory control of energy storage in Rubber Tyred Gantry cranes
