Millions of freight containers carry billions of goods around the world every day. The smooth handling of transport and loading processes in ports around the globe is complex. Reliable technology and smart concepts are designed to help avoid disruptions to operations as much as possible. The drive specialists at SEW-EURODRIVE see themselves as innovators in an industry that moves heavy loads. From gearmotors and industrial gear units to customised solutions: SEW-EURODRIVE uses its extensive expertise to support its customers in efficient, sustainable and future-proof container handling and port logistics along the entire value chain.
The quay area
The quay area plays a central role in port logistics. This is where maximum precision and coordination are particularly required. Efficient container handling processes are crucial to ensure that logistics run smoothly and that the port can operate successfully. SEW-EURODRIVE supplies customised drive solutions for the container gantry cranes. Installed in the STS (ship-to-shore) cranes, these solutions are designed to ensure maximum performance and reliability in port logistics.
The main hoist
The main hoist is part of these solutions. It is a complex drive unit consisting of a gearbox, motor, clutch, brake and rope drum. It is used to lift and lower the containers. In the process, heavy masses are moved and lifted to great heights. Consequently, high standards of safety and reliability apply. In order to meet these requirements while avoiding oversizing of the gear units, the gear units are individually designed according to customer specifications.
The trolley travel drive
The trolley travel drives are required for the horizontal movement of the containers. They ensure fast transport of the containers from ship to shore and back. SEW-EURODRIVE offers a range of different drive options to meet current market requirements. The drive can be mounted directly on the drum or directly on the wheel. The company, based in Bruchsal, Germany, has the ideal solution for both types of mounting.
The luffing gear
The luffing gear is responsible for the flexibility in the transport of container ships at the quay. It lifts and lowers the boom so that the container ships can dock and cast off safely and without hindrance. SEW-EURODRIVE also offers the right solution for this safety-related application.
The travel drive
The Baden-Württemberg company offers two options for the chassis: geared motors and separate industrial gearboxes. Both ensure gentle acceleration and braking so that nothing starts to oscillate. Special brakemotors and flexible brake mounting solutions are ultimately designed to safely bring the work process to a halt.
