Tandem Lifting Energy Saving Benefits

Problem: With the world transitioning to a sustainable future, the port industry is under pressure to be energy efficient.

Solution: Container terminals are opting for single hoist cranes as they are cheaper to build, weigh less and consume less energy when in tandem operation than dual hoist cranes. But what other benefits will follow?

  • Capable of handling 2 x 20/40/45’ or 4 x 20’ containers
  • 100 boxes in 50 moves – speeding up quayside operations
  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Lower crane intensity
  • Allows up to 75% multi-lift with more than 40% in tandem
  • Spreader change-over in less than 2 minutes without the need for manual intervention.
