Performance of Port Transhipment Equipment capability of a port depends on its transhipment equipment (lifting capacity and day- or hourly output of cranes) luffing and slewing crane until 15t luffing and slewing crane until 30t gantry crane (bridge) until 40t grab operation1) 120t/h 160t/h 200t/h hook operation 80t/h 100t/h cargo 40t/h 50t/h 60t/h spreader 15 Container/h 25 Container/h Manual on Danube Navigation page 79-80.

Types of Cranes bridges - or gantry crane luffing and slewing crane - container transhipment Ø 25 container/hour luffing and slewing crane multi purpose transhipment crane for hook- and grabbing goods mobile crane to support existing crane equipment often slower than special cranes picture: Linz AG Manual on Danube Navigation page 80-84. picture: Schaufler Ybbs picture: Hafen Passau
