The Feeder Server / Post-Panamax Server is tailored precisely to the size of feeder vessels and Post-Panamax ships. A clear advantage. Low lifting heights and short ropes mean that containers can be transferred much faster - faster than with other handling systems on the market.
Both types of container crane allow for a transfer rate of up to 40 containers per hour. The outcome of this is that numerous smaller vessels can be serviced in a short time - vessels which often only unload part of their freight and then continue on to their next destination.
This type of transfer speed is not achieved from fast movements, but from a well-conceived movement sequence. This means short travel paths as well as optimised acceleration values and speeds for the standardised design of container cranes.
The long rope lengths of larger container cranes result in lower handling rates due to the increased pendulum swing of the load, and the containers are in turn harder to position. This is coupled with increased energy usage and increased costs.
The Feeder Server / Post-Panamax Server has finalised the cycle while the load on a large container crane is still swinging.
