INTRODUCTION

The loading docks, also called platforms. They are the place where the
supplies arrive for the first time and from where the shipments leave to their
destinations. The growth of trade, rapid modernization and advancements
technological advancements have made it essential that the dock equipment is
a matter of utmost importance, as maintaining a flow of goods
constant without the right equipment would be impossible. In addition to what pertains to
productivity, maintaining a port properly equipped with equipment
modern ones provide a certain level of security as they facilitate tasks making
that operational errors become less frequent.

Currently, there are many alternatives in terms of brands and

specifications, as different ports handle different goods,
vehicles, usage frequencies and load conditions for each type of
warehouse.

CONTAINER
At the docks performing loading/unloading operations, they employ
different teams to carry out daily tasks, these can be
group as follows:

Container yard area

Forklift: Also known as motorized wheelbarrows or

elevators. They move on the ground with traction
motorized. They are mainly intended for
transport, push or lift loads.

The forklift is the most traditional and to fulfill its

forklift work (attachments) and the type
of load. It is a mechanical device powered by
an electric motor or internal combustion engine. It
sits on two axes, the front motor - directive
the rear. Forklifts are heavy equipment, and
Its structure is made of metal or steel.

ElReach Staker is a mobile crane that serves as

support for the stacking of containers in
the yards. It has a range for mobilizing
containers up to a height equivalent to 5
stacked containers (9.6 meters) and up to 3
wide containers, with a capacity of
up to 45 tons. In the first row (radius
minimum) up to 4 high containers. In addition
it can be used for loading and unloading of
vehicles

Cranes Its main function is to maneuver with the

containers, lifting them to rearrange them in
some other place.

14 meters, 10 axles (all directional, 8 of

The MULTI-PURPOSE GANTRY CRANES have a

great versatility as they can all manipulate different
types of cargo: Bulk, containers or other general cargo
depending on the tool being considered: spoon, spreader, or hook.
They can also be classified into:

We can also highlight the great variety of equipment and accessories that

are defined by the type of activities that are carried out within it. If
we talk about containers; which are standardized
