People also ask about portal harbor cranes

Cranes mounted on a portal have a relatively low quay loading as the weight is distributed across the entire rail length. This reduces investments costs in the infrastructure for greenfield terminals, and many brownfield terminals already have rails. Additionally, trucks and rail wagons can pass beneath the portal, as well as conveyor belts, giving more flexibility on narrow quays. Konecranes has deep knowledge of quays with rails and rail-mounted yard cranes across various track gauges and clearance heights.

Portal harbor cranes with mobile harbor crane technology bring together proven components from the slewing ring onwards with customized portals to match the terminal’s specific environment. This brings a lower investment cost compared to purpose-built, specialized equipment, and the mobile harbor crane technology gives high versatility for handling any kind of cargo. Konecranes is the inventor of the mobile harbor crane and delivered the world’s first Konecranes Gottwald Portal Harbor Crane around 40 years ago.

Since portal harbor cranes use many of the same components as rubber-tired mobile harbor cranes, the investment cost is much lower than for purpose-built, specialized equipment. The customer has room to purchase more units to have redundancy and flexibility in handling any kind of cargo. Konecranes designs its Konecranes Gottwald Portal Harbor Cranes with a modular construction kit for the portals. This covers a wide range of rail gauges and clearance heights for a reasonable investment. 

Portal harbor cranes built on mobile harbor crane technology offer high performance for any kind of cargo. The majority of Konecranes Gottwald Portal Harbor Cranes are used for bulk handling and can reach handling rates of up to 2,200 tph which minimizes ship turnaround times. Konecranes offer innovative smart features to improve ergonomics, performance and safety, including semi-automatic point-to-point motions for a steady, high handling rate between the hedge and hopper.

Like every item of port equipment, portal harbor cranes need to be maintained and serviced regularly to perform up to their full potential with high availability. Being built on Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbor crane technology, wearing parts and spare parts are readily accessible. Konecranes is the right portal harbor crane partner thanks to its digital service tools, ability to carry out modernizations and overhauls, and ability to provide full-service packages.
