Cranes Ensure Smooth Cargo Handling
At Port Everglades, a vessel's cargo is quickly off-loaded and on-loaded by gantry cranes and spreaders, including:
A full-range of mobile handling equipment is available through franchised stevedores including container top loaders, yard mules, chassis, flatbed trailers and high-capacity forklifts. Around-the-clock, on-site equipment maintenance and an extensive inventory of crane replacement parts significantly reduce downtime.
Locate dozens of stevedoring/cargo handling and crane equipment businesses in the Port Facilities Guide & Directory or call the Port Business Development Division at 954-523-3404.
