Good news from Taicang Port: two rail-mounted container gantry cranes built by Henan Mine Crane have been delivered — another premium container gantry crane following major projects this year for China Railway, China Railway First Group, Dongfanghong (International) Dry Port, Jinzhou Port and Guisheng Group. It demonstrates the company's growing capacity for innovation and plays an important role in Taicang Port's transformation and upgrading as a national logistics hub.

The cranes use variable-frequency drives and a Siemens PLC control system with remote monitoring (RCMS) and remote operation. They also have an anti-sway system and a truck anti-lifting system; automatic box seeking and intelligent control provide zero-position monitoring and automatic spreader guidance for precise container positioning. A circular trolley serves as the hoisting mechanism, adapting to complex handling positions and raising container efficiency; the upper-and-lower frame spreader structure allows spreader interchange and meets Taicang Port's needs for different cargoes.

Taicang Port is the main carrier area of Jiangsu's port-type national logistics hub and enjoys broad market prospects in the Yangtze River Delta. The rail-mounted container gantry crane customised by Henan Mine Crane was delivered on time and to quality despite a tight schedule and heavy workload. Its successful operation will greatly increase the port's container capacity through excellent products, service and yard handling, providing technical and equipment support for overall port operations.

In future Henan Mine Crane will cooperate deeply with Taicang Port, helping it leverage its location at the junction of the Belt and Road and the Yangtze River Economic Belt and jointly build an international port serving the Maritime Silk Road.
