Container cranes consist of a supporting framework that can traverse the length of a quay or yard on a rail track. Instead of a hook, they are equipped with a specialized handling tool called a spreader. The spreader can be lowered on top of a container and locks onto the container's four locking points ("corner castings") using a twistlock mechanism. Cranes normally transport a single container at once, but some newer cranes have the capability to pick up two to four 20-foot containers at once. Types There are two common types of container handling gantry crane: ''high profile,'' where the boom is hinged at the waterside of the crane structure and lifted in the air to clear the ships for navigation, and ''low profile,'' where the boom is shuttled toward and ...
