Dual-Lane Dual-Flip Container Turning Machine – 135-Ton Heavy Load Dual-Lane Efficient Operation

Overview

his case analysis focuses on the pursuit of extreme container handling efficiency at modern ports and logistics hubs, introducing a dual-lane dual-flip container turning machine.

The machine adopts an innovative dual-lane parallel design, paired with a 180-degree precise flipping capability, achieving a significant leap in container handling efficiency.

It perfectly addresses the core pain points of traditional single-lane operation models, such as low efficiency and slow turnover, making it a key piece of equipment for automated terminals and high-efficiency logistics centers.

Basic Parameters

How It Works

The machine uses a dual-lane independent operation system, with each lane equipped with a complete turning mechanism.

Once a container transport vehicle is positioned, the locking device automatically secures the container, and the hydraulic system drives the turning frame to achieve controlled flipping from 0 to 180 degrees.

The two lanes can operate synchronously or independently without interference.

The advanced control system precisely manages the entire flipping process, ensuring stability and safety under a 135-ton heavy load.

The Challenges

  • Operational Efficiency Bottleneck: Single-lane design leads to slower container processing speeds, which cannot meet the throughput demands of modern ports.
  • Low Space Utilization: Traditional equipment occupies large areas but has limited efficiency per unit area.
  • Safety Challenges: High demands for stability and control precision during heavy-load flipping processes.
  • Inadequate Adaptability: Fixed designs struggle to meet the diverse container processing needs.
  • High Maintenance Costs: Equipment reliability and ease of maintenance are crucial in high-intensity operating environments.

Solutions

  • Dual-Lane Parallel Operation: Allows simultaneous processing of two containers, improving efficiency by nearly 100%.
  • Independent Control System: Ensures flexible operation of each lane.
  • Heavy-load Precise Control: 112 cylinders work together to ensure stable flipping.
  • Advanced Hydraulic System: Achieves precise angle control.
  • High-Strength Structural Design: The total weight of 115.4 tons ensures stability under 135 tons load.
  • Premium Materials and Advanced Craftsmanship: Guarantees durability of the equipment.
  • Intelligent Control System: Real-time monitoring of equipment status, fault self-diagnosis, and safety protection functions.
  • Flexible Customization: Can be tailored to customer needs to adjust size and specifications, meeting different operational environments and container types.

Industry Applications

Large Port Terminals: Enhance container transfer and inspection efficiency.

Logistics Hubs: Speed up sorting and repackaging processes.

Special Cargo Handling: Meets the needs of special size and weight container operations.

Emergency Processing Sites: Quickly complete container content inspection and processing.
