Automatic Stacking Cranes

Advantages That Really Stack Up

The automatic moving and stacking of containers is the next step in the evolution of container crane technology that began with the introduction of containerized shipping in the 1960’s. Konecranes Automatic Stacking Cranes (ASCs) offer significant advantages in an ever-more automated industry.
Several of our ASCs can be operated remotely by a single operator, for example, significantly increasing operator productivity.

Inspired by experience

The Konecranes ASC design drew upon rail and yard conditions that are the daily reality in ports around the world, and brought in the proven technology of our Rubber Tired Gantry cranes. Konecranes ASCs are built specifically to handle actual yard and rail configurations and work practices. Their light, intelligent structure in combination with Active Load Control (ALC) and integrated positioning deliver fast, accurate container stacking over a range of real world conditions.
