PORT CRANES

Container crane
Port operators face an increasingly difficult challenge: transfer efficiently increasing loads of bulk, logs, general or container cargo on a given berth area. While competition between ports is fierce, while ships need to leave sooner than ever, handling equipments - and especially port cranes - should withstand strenuous operation throughout most of the year, with increased safety requirements.

Stromag France brakes are installed onto all kinds of hauling equipment : gantry cranes, bridge type cranes - rail mounted, rubber tired or floating -, belt or bucket shiploaders/unloaders... . Used for main hoist, trolley drive and long travel motions, our brakes are safe, easy to maintain and seawater resistant.

18 "SH" type calipers provide hoist's emergency braking for these winding drums on shear legs

Our expertise has led to the development of an advanced solution for declining conveyors - the constant regulated deceleration CRD® system   which provides a reliable and performant solution to smoothly stop equipments with maximum care for the belts.
