Synopsis : Three newly built container handing cranes having the largest dimensions in Japan as well as higher speed performance than domestic existing container cranes have been put into commercial operation at Kobe Port, Japan. Special design features incorporated in the cranes are "Hoist Rope Sag Prevention Device" to maintain container handling efficiency, "Anti-Sway Device" to control the amount of container sway during high speed operation, and "Leg Height and Span Adjustment Device" to cope with possible extreme variations in the crane track foundation resulting from unstable soil conditions of the man-made island. Each crane, after having been fully erected and fitted out at the fabrication yard, was picked up in one piece by a 3000-t floating crane and transported over the Inland Sea 70 km to the installation site in a scene televised nationwide. |
