Two container cranes

Two container cranes

"Like towering giants: These two Paceco Vickers container cranes at the trans-shipment port, together can handle an average of over sixty containers per hour. Each is capable of handling 20 ft., 35 ft. and 40 ft. long containers. Each has a rail span of 48 feet and a total lift of 130 feet. With a full load a crane can hoist 100 feet per minute; trolley travel 410 feet a minute and gantry travel 150 feet per minute."
