Overhead Crane 10 TonS22m Container Top 5.8m VFD Control

5.8m lifting height above container top means the crane's hook can be raised to 5.8m above the top of the stacked containers. This measurement is critical for container yard operations:

• Standard container height: 2.6m (8.5 ft) for standard containers, 2.9m (9.5 ft) for high-cube containers
• Container stacking: 5.8m above container top allows safe lifting of containers stacked 2-3 high
• Hook clearance: The hook can be positioned above the top container with enough clearance for safe attachment and lifting
• Vertical handling range: Containers can be lifted from ground level to the top of the stack and back

Compared with standard lifting height (measured from rail level), the "above container top" measurement is more practical for container yards because it directly addresses the working height needed for stacking operations. If your yard has different stacking heights, tell Yuantai your actual container stack height and required lift above it.

The hoist VFD with mid-spec + NRT configuration on this container yard overhead crane provides a balanced combination of performance and cost:

• Hoist VFD: The hoisting motion uses variable frequency drive control (VFD) for smooth, precise lifting and placement of containers — critical for safe container handling
• Mid-spec package: The trolley and long travel use dual-speed control (not full VFD), which is sufficient for most container yard operations at a lower cost than full VFD
• NRT configuration: Additional features (specific to Yuantai's NRT package) provide enhanced reliability and ease of maintenance

This configuration is chosen when:

• Precise hoisting is critical: Container placement requires smooth, controlled hoisting to avoid damage to containers and contents
• Travel precision is less critical: Container yard travel distances are relatively short, so dual-speed travel is sufficient
• Cost efficiency is important: Hoist VFD alone is more economical than full VFD on all motions

For container yards where full VFD is required (e.g., for precise travel positioning or anti-sway), a full VFD configuration can be specified — tell Yuantai your specific requirements.

The 2 cranes on the same 42.65m runway configuration is designed for container yard operations requiring parallel handling. Reasons for 2 cranes:

• Parallel handling: 2 cranes can work on different sections of the 42.65m runway, handling 2 simultaneous container lifting operations
• Reduced cycle time: Container loading/unloading becomes faster when 2 cranes work simultaneously
• Loading + unloading separation: One crane can handle loading while the other handles unloading
• Tandem lifting options: For very heavy or long loads, 2 cranes can work together (with proper tandem control)
• Redundancy: If one crane is under maintenance, the other continues operations

The 42.65m runway is sized to allow 2 cranes to operate independently without interfering with each other. Each crane has its own control station, allowing flexible operation. For more cranes or different runway lengths, tell Yuantai your specific requirements.

Eight numbers on this container yard double girder overhead crane drawing must match your yard, or the cranes will not fit or operate correctly:

If any of these eight differ from your yard, tell Yuantai before ordering — each change affects price and lead time on the container yard overhead crane.

P30 rail is specified for this container yard double girder overhead crane because:

• Wheel load per crane: The 10t capacity and 22m span create significant load moment at the end carriages
• 2 cranes on same runway: The rail and runway beam must support the combined load of 2 cranes when they pass on the same rail section
• Heavier double girder structure: Each double girder bridge with crab wire rope hoist is heavier than a single girder crane
• Container handling loads: Containers present dynamic loads during lifting and placement, requiring a heavier rail section
• Long service life: P30 rail is standard for 10t+ double girder overhead cranes in continuous container yard use
• Standard availability: P30 is a common rail section, easy to source and replace

Do not substitute a lighter rail (P22 or P24) without recalculating the wheel load and dynamic forces. The combination of 10t capacity, 22m span, and 2 cranes on the same 42.65m runway requires P30 or heavier.

This container yard overhead crane is designed for indoor or covered container yard use. The cranes run on elevated runway rails supported by the building or yard structure. For fully outdoor container yards (exposed to weather), additional considerations are needed:

• Weather protection: Outdoor electrical enclosures (IP55+) and anti-corrosion treatment
• Wind load design: Anti-wind devices and anchoring for outdoor wind exposure
• Rail and structural protection: Additional protection for rails and structural steel
• Alternative crane type: For fully outdoor container yards, a gantry crane with ground rails may be more suitable

For outdoor container yard applications, see the MHO gantry crane range or contact Yuantai for a custom outdoor container yard crane solution.

To avoid surprises at installation, these items are outside the container yard overhead crane supply scope unless you specifically add them:

• Runway rail (P30) and rail fasteners for the 42.65m runway
• Runway beam and yard column reinforcement for 2 cranes
• Yard structural support for the combined wheel load
• Site power supply up to the crane isolator for 2 cranes
• Erection crane and site lifting equipment
• Local electrical connection and permits
• Anti-collision system between the 2 cranes (if required)

Because the container yard overhead cranes run on elevated runway rails with 2 cranes sharing a 42.65m runway, the yard structure and rail alignment are critical. Yuantai can provide runway load drawings and installation guidance as optional items.

Send these eleven items and Yuantai will issue a free custom container yard overhead crane CAD drawing, 3D model, and proposal within 24 hours:

1. Container yard width and runway rail center-to-center distance (span)
2. Container stack height and required lift above container top — e.g., 5.8m
3. Required lifting capacity (t) — e.g., 10t per crane
4. Number of cranes required — e.g., 2 units
5. Yard length / crane travel distance — e.g., 42.65m
6. Power supply (V / Hz / Ph)
7. Lifts per hour or hours per day (duty)
8. Yard structure and runway beam capacity
9. Anti-collision requirements between cranes
10. Container type and weight (standard or high-cube)
11. Control preference: pendant, wireless, or both

The more complete the list, the faster and more accurate the container yard overhead crane drawing, 3D model, and quote.
