ZPMC Installs Heavy Wind-Resistant Quay Crane at Qingdao Dagang Terminal
Equipment manufacturer ZPMC has deployed a newly engineered quay crane at China's Qingdao Dagang Terminal designed to endure severe storm conditions.
Chinese port machinery manufacturer ZPMC has completed the installation of a new wind-resistant quay crane at the Qingdao Dagang Terminal in eastern China.
The newly commissioned equipment has been engineered specifically to cope with harsh coastal weather, boasting the structural capacity to withstand wind gusts approaching 210 kilometres per hour.
According to technical details released by ZPMC, the unit integrates several structural innovations aimed at curbing wind resistance. These design adjustments reduce the overall wind load by 80 percent compared to traditional quay crane structures.
The deployment at Qingdao Dagang Terminal highlights an industry focus on enhancing terminal safety and equipment durability against extreme meteorological conditions.
