Container handling and container storage

Our solutions for container handling and container storage

Container handling plays a crucial role in the global trade chain. Careful planning and integration of the technology ensures efficient storage and smooth transport. With strong and precise drive solutions, SEW-EURODRIVE helps you optimize your logistics system. SEW-EURODRIVE supplies customized drive solutions for your applications. They are used in RMG (Rail Mounted Gantry): Rail-mounted gantry crane, ASC (Automated Stacking Crane): Automatic Stacking Crane, RTG (Rubber Tyred Gantry): Rubber Tired Stacking Crane, Intermodal Crane and SC (Straddle Carrier): Gantry pallet truck to ensure maximum performance and reliability in port logistics.

Important goals

High space utilization

Since storage space is limited, the space in warehouse logistics must be optimally utilized to accommodate the maximum number of containers.

Modern digitalization

The integration of digital technologies, supported by state of the art technology, is crucial for tracking containers, managing inventory and optimizing transport.

Fast goods handling

Rapid entry and exit of containers is crucial to ensure smooth operation in the port and to meet delivery deadlines.

Maximum efficiency

Efficient processes are of the utmost importance to ensure the continuous flow of goods and to minimize the idle times of ships.

Our solutions for container handling and container storage

Main hoist

Did you know that the main hoist is a drive unit? It consists of gear unit, motor, coupling, brake and rope drum. It is used to lift and lower the containers. Heavy masses are moved and lifted to high altitudes. Consequently, high standards of safety and reliability apply. To meet these requirements and at the same time avoid oversizing the gear units, the gear units are designed according to the customer's specifications.

Your requirements

Safety and reliability
High torques
Weight optimization
Large center distance to avoid collision between drum and motor
Increased bearing service life and housing strength to absorb high radial forces

Trolley travel

The trolley travel units are required for the horizontal movement of the containers. They ensure fast transport of containers from ship to land and vice versa. We offer a variety of drive options to meet current market requirements. In addition to the highly demanded efficiency and reliability, acceleration, travel, and braking are the main tasks of these drives.

Your requirements

Movement of heavy masses
Compact, space-saving design
Weight optimization
Brake mounting with simple maintenance
Energy-efficient motors

Gantry travel

We offer two options for the gantry travel – with our gearmotors and with industrial gear units. You can choose between two options. The chassis ensures gentle acceleration and braking so that it does not vibrate. Our motor brakes and flexible brake mounting solutions ensure a safe stop during the work process.
