Container handling in ports

Productivity is a decisive factor in modern container handling. The comprehensive product portfolio of Liebherr Port equipment offers ideal solutions for ports or intermodal terminals where every container counts.

More than 600 million 20 foot containers are shipped each year. The increasing size of container vessels requires powerful and productive container handling equipment. In many cases, the productivity and laytime in the harbour are decisive factors.

Liebherr makes a broad range of maritime cranes available around the world for highly efficient loading and unloading of ships, which leading harbours rely on. Decades of experience from successful container handling flow into the development of our products.

Our broad product range includes innovative material handling equipment for loading and unloading anything from feeder ships up to the biggest freight vessels.

Not only handling performance is important on the quayside but also the overall logistics in the harbour. Our maritime machines also impress in the areas of container transport and storage.

Although modern technologies support crane operators in a major way, the individual performance of the crane operator is decisive when it comes to productivity. Liebherr draws on many years of crane operator instruction and offers additional training simulators.

A series of highly modern technologies increase productivity and safety in container handling. Among these are Cycoptronic for pendulum-free loads and Pactronic hybrid drive for up to 30% higher handling volume.
