STS Portainer®

Cranes

Key element to Ship to Shore operations. Speed, accuracy and power of control guarantee an optimum container handling performance.

We accommodate to the Container Handling Equipment Market and its demands for increasing container vessels sizes and volumes: high productivity through the use of a higher lifting capacity as well as an increased trolley speed, good visibility through wide windows, good response by AC control drive and high rigidity portal frame. Moreover, the type and size of the suitable STS Portainer® are determined by the features of the largest ship expected to dock under the crane and the dock features where the rail track is located in relation to high and low tides so the highest crane performance and reliability might be reached.

RTG Transtainer®

Cranes

Core element to Yard Container Handling Operations within a Terminal are the Transtainer Cranes and especially the RTG Transtainer®. Port productivity improvement alongside with low maintenance requirements for higher crane availability are outstanding features of this type of Cranes

Tailoring your needs

Our Transtainer® designs provide different options for geometry, wheel arrangements and feeding systems to suit your Terminal needs. Mechanics have also progressed and the industry has evolved to a pyramidal reeving for smoother operation and a more flexible design to have 4, 8 or 16 wheels per corner in order to suit with the bearing capacity of most of the terminal yards.

Caring for your Profit

A reduced Cost of Ownership is the key driver for our Transtainer® design. With an efficient energy use, high availability and high maintainability together with its outstanding performance, it is the best choice when it comes to making profit in every move.

Ready for Automation

Our Transtainer® structural design, reeving and micromotions concepts as well as the electronic and control platform are some of the aspects that have been developed thinking of automation. A complete plug-in automation package is available to convert the Transtainer® into an automatic RTG at any time.

Driver at the Top

The structural stability of the Transtainer®, the rope reeving stiffness, the accessibility and cabin ergonomics are some of the new features that will provide your drivers with the best working environment.

Zero Emissions:

our response to the Ecological

Transition

and Decarbonization of the Port Industry

PACECO Group (PACECO) and Mitsui E&S Machinery (MES-M) have always advocated for emission reduction and released a hybrid RTG already in 2009, with a smaller diesel engine and adding lithium-ion batteries for additional power. Over 270 PACECO-Mitsui Hybrid Transtainer® RTGs are in use today at Ports around the world. Recently, PACECO and MES-M have gone a step further in their ongoing commitment to sustainability and launched the NZE Transtainer® RTG, a near zero emission crane with a small diesel engine that will be easily able to be replaced by a zero-emission Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Module in a near future.

Conventional RTG

Simple and reliable technology, less components and spare parts and reduction of failure incidence and stopping times.

Hybrid RTG Battery

Carbon Dioxide Emission reduction up to 60%, fuel savings up to 60% and annual running costs reduction up to 40%.

NZE (Near Zero Emission)

CO2, NOx and PM particle emission reduction up to 60%-70%, fuel consumption reduction up to 70% and low-cost conversion of NZE (Near Zero Emission) Transtainer to a ZE (Zero Emission).

ZE (Zero Emission)

Cero CO2, NOx and PM particle emission, fuel consumption elimination and low-cost conversion path.

Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes

Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes

The RMG Transtainer® crane is similar to the RTG Transtainer®. This type of crane has significantly improved, mainly with respect to its geometry. The high density load centers requiring maximum land usage and quick transfers can make a profitable investment on a wide span (25 up to 60m), RTG Transtainer®, either with or without cantilevers. Also, the RMG Transtainer® crane lends itself ideally for automation.

RTG Transtainer® Features

Our RTG Transtainer® cranes combine the sound structural design that provides a firm behavior with the state-of-the-art technologies regarding handling optimization and safety. We provide Automation solutions and the latest trends and developments in environmentally friendly design and CO2-emissions reduction such as Electrification and Hybridization.

The new Hybrid TRANSTAINER® reduces carbon dioxide emissions up to 60% and saves up to 60% of diesel fuel using the following technologies:

-Large Capacity Battery (Li-Ion) enables effective reuse of stored regenerated power, which downsizes the diesel engine.

-Variable Engine Speed Control system controls engine speed to optimize with operating conditions: as a result you obtain fuel saving.

With a reduced engine, the Hybrid TRANSTAINER® maintenance is more cost effective than that of a conventional diesel engine. With the added savings of fuel consumption, the Hybrid TRANSTAINER® reduces annual running costs up to 40%.

The Hybrid TRANSTAINER® keeps the conventional flexible operation in cross-traveling. In addition, in the case on engine problems, the large capacity battery helps to keep certain operations (ex. moving back to maintenance shop). Damage to the entire terminal operation remains minimized.

In 2021 the innovative NZE (Near Zero Emission) RTG Transtainer® has been released into the market. The NZE Transtainer is an updated version of the PACECO-Mitsui well established hybrid Transtainer, first introduced to the market in 2009. The NZE Transtainer features larger lithium-ion batteries and smaller engine genset designed with a start/stop feature to primarily operate to recharge the battery bank. The hybrid power system is fully integrated into the crane with internally developed
technologies to drive crane efficiencies and achieve tight interaction with the crane.

With a reduced engine, the Hybrid TRANSTAINER® maintenance is more cost-effective, requires less maintenance works and maintenance cycles than a conventional diesel engine while significantly lowering the noise level. With the added savings on fuel consumption, the Hybrid TRANSTAINER® reduces annual running costs up to 40%.

Remarkable high RTG Crane Autonomy: No need for cable reel or bus bar and no civil works required.

Our NZE (Near Zero Emission) crane intends to be the forerunner for zero emission technologies such as hydrogen fuel cell power modules for ZE Transtainers. NZE technologies will allow our customers to invest now with low emission Transtainers and easily enable the low-cost conversion of NZE (Near Zero Emission) Transtainer to a ZE (Zero Emission) Transtainer by simply replacing the diesel generator with a hydrogen fuel cell power module without modification of other drive systems or mechanical parts.

ZE (Zero Emission)

The most sustainable and autonomous RTG Transtainer® crane is planned to complete in-house testing by March 2023. The propulsion of the ZE (Zero emission) RTG crane will occur by a high performance Fuel Cell Power Pack thanks to which Cero CO2, NOx and PM particle emission will be reached and fuel consumption utterly eliminated. Maintenance costs will again be reduced.

A Low-cost conversion path will be guaranteed thanks to an easy Diesel Genset swap by a Fuel Cell, with no need for other parts or electric system replacement.
