2. Introduction
Ports play a vital role in global trade and require efficient
cargo handling equipment.
This presentation explores various types of equipment used
at ports to handle cargo.
3. Cranes
Tower cranes: Used for lifting heavy
containers and other cargo.
Gantry cranes: Commonly used to
load and unload containers from
ships.
Mobile cranes: Versatile equipment
for handling cargo in various areas of
the port.
4. Forklifts
Electric forklifts: Ideal for indoor
operations and emission-free
environments.
Diesel forklifts: Suitable for outdoor
operations and heavy lifting.
5. Reach Stackers
Specialized vehicles for stacking and moving
containers.
