Gantry crane speeds up container loading at a small Indonesian port

Client: Pelindo Karya Terminal, Surabaya, Indonesia
Industry: Port and container handling

Background
This small port handles about 200 containers per day. They used a reach stacker and a forklift. But during rainy season, the ground gets soft. The reach stacker often got stuck. Trucks waited for more than one hour.

The problem

Reach stacker had high fuel cost and frequent tire damage

Soft ground made wheeled equipment unsafe

No ability to stack empty containers higher than two

The solution from Henan Mine
We supplied a rubber‑tyred gantry crane (RTG) built for soft ground:

Capacity: 35 tons under spreader

Stacking: 1 over 3 (four high)

Diesel‑electric hybrid – saves 30% fuel compared to a normal RTG

Wide tires (800 mm) to reduce ground pressure

GPS container positioning – the operator knows exactly where to go

Henan Mine delivered the crane in knockdown form and assembled it on site in 20 days.

The results

Truck waiting time dropped from 65 minutes to 18 minutes (-72%)

Yard capacity increased by 60% – they can now store 1,200 TEUs

Fuel cost reduced by $2,100 per month

The crane works even after heavy rain – no more getting stuck
