Ship-to-shore Container Crane is called STS or QC Crane, which is constituted by steel structure, lifting mechanism, pitching mechanism, tilting mechanism, crane traveling mechanism, trolley traveling mechanism, machine room, spreader, electrical equipment, necessary safety devices and other accessories. It is used to unload the container directly from the ship to the dock or the truck, or load it from the dock or the truck to the ship.

The Ship - to - shore Container Crane is an essential piece of equipment in modern ports. It is specifically designed to efficiently handle the transfer of containers. This powerful crane is used to unload the container in a direct manner. When a container ship arrives at the port, the Ship - to - shore Container Crane swings into action. It carefully picks up the containers from the ship's deck and then smoothly lowers them either directly onto the dock, where they can be further sorted and prepared for inland transportation. In some cases, it can also unload the containers directly onto trucks that are waiting nearby, enabling a seamless transition from sea - borne to land - based transport.

Conversely, when it comes to loading operations, the Ship - to - shore Container Crane plays an equally crucial role. It can lift containers from the dock, where they have been assembled or stored, and load them onto the waiting ship. Similarly, it can also pick up containers from trucks parked at the port and load them onto the ship, ensuring that goods are ready to be shipped to their intended international destinations. This process helps in the smooth flow of global trade by facilitating the quick and safe transfer of containers between different modes of transportation.
