Efficiency given over 30% boost with quad lifts at APM Terminals Lazaro Cardenas
If a crane is ultimately a giant mechanical arm, the team at Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico have pumped their mechanical muscles to the extreme by perfecting a manoeuvre rarely achieved anywhere in the world – and scoring a first for Mexico: quad lifts with a ship-to-shore crane.
Pulling off quad lifts – the lifting of four containers at a time – is an uncommon and highly skilled accomplishment. It’s also not a task to be taken lightly. In port operations, where safety and speed are paramount, pushing the limits of efficiency necessitates careful calculation, intense planning and extraordinary teamwork.
