Crane Industry Weekly Report Accelerated Intelligent Upgrading, Green Transformation Leading New Trends

2026-04-06 Visits:1

I. Xiamen Port Deploys Intelligent Container Gantry Cranes

Key Highlights

On April 2, 2026, Xiamen Port Haitian Terminal reached an important milestone - 8 newly purchased intelligent container rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG) completed unloading operations. This batch of equipment integrates automation, intelligence, and green features, marking a new stage in the intelligent upgrading of China's port lifting equipment.

Technical Features

 Remote Intelligent Control: Operators can remotely control equipment from the central control room, achieving "unmanned" operations

 Automated Yard Management: Equipped with intelligent recognition systems for automatic container positioning, grabbing, and stacking

 Green Energy Design: Adopts energy recovery technology, reducing energy consumption by over 30%

 Enhanced Safety Protection: Multi-sensor fusion for 360-degree safety monitoring

Industry Value

According to the Ministry of Transport's "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Smart Ports and Smart Waterways", by 2025, major international hub ports including Shanghai Port, Tianjin Port, Qingdao Port, and Ningbo Zhoushan Port will basically complete the construction of intelligent sensing networks. Xiamen Port's equipment upgrade is a concrete implementation of national strategy and will set a benchmark for intelligent transformation in the industry.
