Provided are a control system for a container crane and a control method for a container crane in which the time necessary for position adjustment between the spreader and the landing surface is reduced and the cargo handling efficiency is improved. A control system of a container crane has a camera, a display device, position acquisition devices, and a control device. Based on the plane positions of a spreader and a landing surface acquired by the position acquisition devices, the control device superimposes, on an image captured by the camera, an indication display from which it is understood that the positions of the spreader and the landing surface have agreed with each other in plan view, and the control device displays a resultant image with the image and the indication display superimposed on the display device.

Method for controlling a lifting device to move a load along a trajectory, to move the load in an efficient, automated, and collision-free manner between points, includes a start point and end point of the trajectory and prohibited zones are established which, during motion of the load are avoided. A computing unit calculates a geometric or rounded geometric or smooth geometric path, that kinematic and geometric limit values of the lifting device are predetermined, from which the computing unit, on the basis of the geometric or rounded geometric or smooth geometric path, calculates a dynamic or rounded dynamic or smooth dynamic path which provides time information about motion of the load along the geometric or rounded geometric or smooth geometric path. The geometric or rounded geometric or smooth geometric path and the dynamic or rounded dynamic or smooth dynamic path are combined for producing the trajectory.

A method, a device, and a system for parking a truck accurately in a shore crane area are provided. A vehicle controller transmits a parking request for a truck to be parked. A main controller receives the parking request and acquires real-time point cloud data by scanning one or more lanes crossed by a shore crane using one or more LiDARs. The main controller clusters the real-time point cloud data to obtain a set of point clouds for the truck and applies an Iterative Closest Point algorithm to the set of point clouds and a vehicle point cloud model to obtain a real-time distance from the truck to a target parking space. The vehicle controller controls the truck to stop at the target parking space based on the real-time distance.

Rail (10, 30) for use at boom hinges (5) of a crane (1), extending longitudinally from one end (11) to an opposite end (12), comprising a rail head (13, 33) having a running surface (131) for a wheel of a railway vehicle, a rail foot (14, 18, 38) for fastening the rail, and a web (15) connecting the rail head to the rail foot and interposed between the rail head and the rail foot, wherein the rail head is continuous along the length of the rail. The rail comprises a resilient member (16, 36) extending across the web (15) from the one end (11) of the rail over a length shorter than the length of the rail in order to provide a resiliency of the rail head (13, 33) relative to the rail foot (18, 38) over a length of extension of the resilient member.

A vertically-adjustable gantry assembly installation for removal or placement of a train bridge-span of the type which spans and supported by two piers, comprises a gantry assembly positioned on load-bearing first ground-support locations, the gantry assembly comprising a gantry and a ground-engaging vertical support and lift system, the vertical support and lift system adapted for supporting a combined weight of the gantry and bridge span in at least one operational vertical position above respective bridge span support-surfaces of the piers including a position corresponding to a disembarking plane in which the leg portions are extended from a viewed portion to an extent as least sufficient for the gantry assembly to self-liftoff the pre-installation conveyance system onto the first ground-support locations to effect the gantry assembly installation.

A cable winch arrangement (1) which includes at least one cable drum (2), which is mounted rotatably about a drum axis (3), for winding up and/or unwinding at least one cable (30-37), and a supporting structure (20), and a spindle drive (14) for displacing the cable drum (2) relative to the supporting structure (20), wherein the spindle drive (14) has a spindle (16) extending along a spindle axis (15), and a cable run-off point (6) of the at least one cable (30-37), at which the cable (30-37) runs tangentially onto and/or out from the cable drum (2), is at least substantially positionally fixed with respect to the supporting structure (20), and the spindle axis (15) is arranged coaxially with respect to the drum axis (3) of the cable drum (2).

A method, computer program and equipment for controlling a crane and method for updating a crane. A crane is controlled or the crane is updated to be controlled by: a) forming video image at a lifting point of a crane; b) determining a current and a future position of a lifting member or of a load with respect to the formed video image; c) combining to the formed video image an indication of the future position of the lifting member or of the load; and d) performing repeatedly again steps b) and c) for real time indicating of the future position of the lifting member or of the load.

The invention relates to a method and to a container transfer installation (2, 102) for placing containers into and removing containers from or transferring containers (1) in high-rack or block storage arcs (3, 15) of a seaport or inland port within a container transfer installation (2, 102) having an integrated, fully automatic container transport system. An accelerated process having high total throughput is achieved in that individual containers (1) are deposited by the at least one loading gantry (6) successively onto pallets (19) or transverse conveying carts (18) provided on a transfer cart (8; 8a, 8b) that at least has an upper and a lower accommodating and conveying level (I, II) and can be moved parallel to the container storage area (3, 15), and the pallets (19) loaded with a container (1) are led over means of pallet transverse conveying means (25) or the containers (1) are led over by means of the transverse conveying carts (18) of the transfer cart (8; 8a, 8b) from the transfer cart onto an end distribution vehicle (9; 9a, 9b), which can be moved parallel to the container storage area (3, 15) and is positioned in line before the transfer cart (8; 8a, 8b) and has an upper and a lower level (I, II) and are led over by means of transverse conveying means (20; 25) from the end distribution vehicle onto a stationary transfer station (10) of the container storage area (3, 15), which transfer station likewise has an upper and a lower level (I, II) and from which transfer station a storage area crane (12) lifts the container (1) in order to place the container in the container storage area (3, 15).
