Bulk Cargo Transshipment Floating Crane

The Bulk Cargo Transshipment Floating Crane is specialized floating lifting equipment designed for transferring and handling bulk goods (such as coal, ores, and grains) in maritime or inland waterways. Combining the features of cranes and floating platforms, it enables ship-to-ship (STS) or ship-to-shore cargo transfer operations without the need for fixed docks. Widely used in port transshipment, maritime transportation, and temporary loading/unloading scenarios, this equipment provides efficient logistics solutions.

Floating Design
Installed on barges, tugs, or other floating platforms, it does not rely on fixed docks and is highly flexible, adapting to different water depths and operating conditions.

High-Efficiency Handling Capacity
Equipped with grabs or continuous ship unloaders (e.g., chain buckets, screws), it is designed for bulk cargo and offers large processing capacity (typically hundreds to thousands of tons per hour).

Adaptability
It can be used for large bulk carriers (e.g., Cape Horn type) and inland river barges, solving problems such as insufficient water depth or port congestion.

Mobility and Stability
Some models are equipped with autonomous navigation capabilities or mooring systems, enabling stable operation under wave conditions. Advanced equipment may also include dynamic positioning systems (DPS).

Fixed Floating Crane
Simple structure with a lifting capacity of up to hundreds of tons, suitable for large-tonnage bulk cargo grab operations.

Portal Floating Crane
Features the ability to move along tracks, offering a wider operation range and greater flexibility.

Continuous Floating Ship Unloaders
Equipped with chain buckets or pneumatic systems, these are suitable for uniform particle bulk goods (e.g., grain, fertilizer), providing high efficiency and environmental benefits.

• Port Transshipment: In deep-water areas, large bulk carriers are lightened by transferring goods to smaller inland river vessels.
• Sea Transshipment: Direct transfer of goods between two ships to save berthing costs.
• Emergency Handling: Provides temporary solutions during natural disasters or dock repairs.
• Non-Terminal Areas: Offers bulk cargo handling services to remote areas lacking infrastructure.

This equipment is designed for loading and unloading operations between shore and vessels, as well as between ships. With its lightweight design, compact footprint, high efficiency, stable performance, and flexible operation, it serves as an ideal handling solution for inland waterways and lakes. It is also applicable to port dredging and construction projects, functioning as grab dredgers, floating sand unloaders, or floating coal unloaders. Users can choose to equip the system with either a hook or a grab.

Floating bulk cargo transfer cranes are important tools in modern bulk cargo logistics, especially suitable for bulk commodity transportation and port efficiency improvement. With increasing environmental requirements, future developments may focus on electrification, automation, and enhanced dustproof and energy-saving designs.

The model is designed and manufactured according to GB3811-2008 Crane Design Code and GB6067-85 Lifting Machinery Safety Code.

Note: It can be customized according to customer needs
