A recent independent report published by Ports & Waterway Engineering provides a valuable tool for ports evaluating different crane options.
Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG), a terminal operator at the world’s largest port, Shanghai, which handles over 35 million TEUs, has conducted a scientific evaluation of several tandem lifting systems.
They have found that dual-hoist cranes break down significantly more often, cost more to maintain, use more energy per box, and have a price tag greater than 1 million USD. From this, they have evaluated several single-hoist tandem systems on the market.
“This article is a great tool to assist port engineer evaluating the pros and cons of tandem 40 systems for their projects” Cameron Hay – RAM Spreaders
