Chaozhou Container House Lifting

The lifting of container houses in Chaozhou mainly relies on lifting equipment such as container gantry cranes, achieving efficient and safe operations through reasonable design, standardized operations, and safety protection measures.

I. Core Equipment and Functions

The core equipment for container house lifting in the Chaozhou area is the container gantry crane. Its main girder and large-car frame are made of high-strength steel structures, providing strong overall rigidity, minimal sway during lifting operations, and smooth running during lifting and traveling. This equipment is specifically designed for container loading and unloading at ports and yards, adaptable to different specifications of containers, including standard containers, open-top containers, and flat-rack containers, meeting diverse cargo transportation needs. For example, the shore bridge container crane introduced in the expanded freight terminal of Chaozhou Port stands 60 meters tall and weighs over 1,600 tons, significantly enhancing container handling capacity and increasing the annual design throughput from 100,000 TEUs to 520,000 TEUs.

II. Key Technologies for Lifting Operations

1. Structural Design Optimization
   The container gantry crane ensures operational stability through solid structural design. Its main girder and frame are made of high-strength materials, reducing deformation during lifting; it is equipped with comprehensive safety protection devices, such as overload protection, limit protection, and wind anchoring, which automatically trigger protection in case of abnormalities, avoiding operational risks. For example, during operations in Chaozhou Port, the gantry crane can withstand dynamic loads during heavy container lifting, preventing safety hazards caused by container collisions or swaying.

2. Remote Control Technology
   Some advanced equipment incorporates 5G, Beidou high-precision positioning, and AI digital twin technology to enable remote intelligent operations. Operators can control the lifting, slewing, luffing, and traveling of the bridge crane through screens in the ground remote control center, precisely controlling container lifting thousands of meters away. This technology not only reduces labor intensity but also enhances operational efficiency and safety, especially suitable for continuous operations under complex working conditions.

III. Safety and Efficiency Guarantee Measures

1. Multiple Safety Protections
   The equipment comes with automatic protection functions such as overload and out-of-bounds protection, combined with escort measures from the Chaozhou Maritime Department (such as temporary traffic control and clearing obstructing vessels), ensuring the safety of large transport vessels when berthing at the port. For example, when the "Zhenhua 12" vessel berthed at Chaozhou Port, the maritime department formulated an emergency plan in advance, implementing pilotage and escort measures to ensure the smooth installation of the 1,600-ton shore bridge container crane.

2. Site Adaptability Design
   Container gantry cranes in inland dry ports can operate directly on hardened ground, enabling multi-layer stacking of containers and saving land resources. Their lifting and traveling actions are controllable, with precise alignment, reducing container collision damage and protecting foreign trade goods. This design allows inland areas like Chaozhou to complete port配套 (port supporting) operations such as container stacking and loading/unloading without being close to the coastline, reducing logistics costs.
