Cranes Ensure Smooth Cargo Handling

Port Everglades has an array of gantry cranes and spreaders that can quickly off-loaded and on-loaded cargo, including:

• 7 Samsung Post-Panamax at Southport
• 1 Paceco at Midport
• 1 Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane at Midport

A full-range of mobile handling equipment is available through franchised stevedores, including:

• container top loaders
• yard mules
• chassis
• flatbed trailers
• high-capacity forklifts

Around-the-clock, on-site equipment maintenance and an extensive inventory of crane replacement parts significantly reduce downtime.

Stevedoring/cargo handling and crane equipment businesses can be found in the Port Facilities Guide & Directory or by calling the Port Business Development Division at 954-523-3404.
