ss Built by PACECO for the Port of Oakland, this Low Profile Portainer not yard. The crane is leased to a consortium of Japanese lines which car- only loads and unloads container ships but also services the storage ried 70% of Japan's 157.9 million tons of import-export cargo in 1968. PACECO's Low Profile Portainer® does more! • Meets height restrictions. Only 88 ft. high, it solves height problems imposed by adjacent airports. • Services three times the storage area. When not servicing ships, the horizontal sliding boom provides a 90 ft. backreach for stacking and loading contain- ers in the terminal. • Provides faster boom operation.This sliding boom crane retracts for ship clearance approximately five times faster than conventional container cranes. • Offers pre-stowage or surge capacity. The 96 ft. leg span provides space for working eight rows of containers plus a truck roadway. • Provides three times the overall working area. In addition to the outreach of 102 ft. over the ship, the crane works 186 ft. of land area. The Low Profile Portainer is an integral part of the PACECO "total container terminal system" which also utilizes PACECO Transtainer® yard cranes and low-cost trucks at the Port of Oakland. The system assures the lowest cost per container handled throughout the terminal. The Low Profile Portainer is one of ten basic PACECO Portainer designs, each with optional modi- fications according to specific requirements. If you have unique height, width, dock-load or traffic-lane restrictions, and if you're interested in a low-cost total container terminal system, PACECO has a sys- tem for your needs.
