Port shipping - Import export

KAUP Container Spreaders are variably usable and have proven to be successful in worldwide use since more than 30 years - on ships, port terminals or transhipment stations. Due to the consequently applied modular principle of KAUP they have a very favourable ratio between empty weight and payload and can be adapted without any problems to individual requests concerning load capacity, stroke speed and increasing container sizes.

Bulk handling of any kind in sea and inland ports or storage facilities. For ship-to-ship, ship-to-storage/wagon/silo handling. For various types of crane with internal or external holding ropes. Technical design Low-maintenance or maintenance-free design, which benefits both the environment and your profitability Transverse or longitudinal suspension with 3-fold, 4-fold and 5-fold rope reeving; as 2-rope and 4-rope grabs High load capacity thanks to its lightweight design Smooth grab thanks to its low centre of gravity and because the rope’s diameter matches that of the pulley Retracted pivots for easy grab under the ship’s gangway Large plastered surface to grip the residual charge Closing rope devices: Rope nozzles KROGER MAINTENANCE-FREE, rope-protecting, roller-bearing pulley system Lower pulley block unrestrained on the crossbeam Rope pulley bearing: Plain bearing KROGER MAINTENANCE-FREE pulley block system Grab shells: Material: S355J2+N

Quick port handling – and therefore the reduction of the time that ships spend in port – is a priority for all port operators, regardless of the port’s size and whether it is at sea or inland. This largely depends on the reliability, robustness, and low maintenance requirements of the handling equipment used. KRÖGER’s different grab systems are ideal for the tough 24-hour working reality of ports and for almost all handling requirements. We are also extremely well equipped to design individualised grabs to meet specific requirements. Depending on the handling system, our grabs are equipped with hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or mechanical rope drives. They can therefore be used to unload small inland ships and large seagoing vessels, as well as for bulk cargo handling of any kind.

Bulk handling of any kind in sea and inland ports or storage facilities. For ship-to-ship, ship-to-storage/wagon/silo handling. For various types of handling machinery (mobile, stationary, crawler or portal) designed to be connected to hydraulic attachments. Technical design Half-closed or closed grip; with 2 or 4 cylinders Optimisation of machine load capacity thanks to its lightweight design which can hold maximum loads Grab drive: Hydraulic hoses connect the materials handling machine to the grab Closing and opening movements are controlled by the materials handling machine Closing and opening movements controlled by directly connected hydraulic cylinders Grab connection bearing Re-greaseable, robust steel bushing bearing Stable, torsion-resistant shells adapted to material flow: Shell plates made of S355J2+N Cutting edges made of special, highly wear-resistant steel

Bulk handling of any kind in sea and inland ports or storage facilities. For ship-to-ship, ship-to-storage/wagon/silo handling. For various types of crane with control systems designed for hydraulic motor grab systems. Technical design Designed as a discharge and ship unloading grab with retracted pivot bearings for easy gripping under the ship’s gangway Optimisation of crane load capacity thanks to its lightweight design which can hold maximum loads Grab drive: Vertical electrohydraulic drive unit with high-pressure pump Closing and opening movements are controlled through clockwise or counter clockwise rotation of the electric motor (turn control). The electric motor is only switched on whilst the closing and opening movement is being performed. Grab connection bearing: Re-greaseable steel bushing bearing Stable, torsion-resistant design using direct cylinder linkage
