Abstract (en)

A travelling container crane comprises a mobile gantry (10) mounted for sideways movement on fixed ground rails (14) and two parallel spaced-apart beams (16, 17) supported by and extending horizontally from the gantry (10) in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the gantry. A respective mobile trolley (22, 23) is supported under each beam on rails fixed to the beam for to-and-fro movement of the trolley along the beam on the beam rails, and a respective hoistable container-lifting device (33) is suspended from each trolley. In the preferred embodiment, a third mobile trolley (30) and associated container-lifting device (33) is supported between the two beams on further rails fixed to the two beams, whereby the third trolley may move to and fro along the space between the beams on the said further rails.
