Terminal operators rely on a coordinated fleet of specialized machines to keep container throughput moving: ship-to-shore (STS) cranes handle the vessel-to-quay transfer, rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTG) and rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMG) manage yard stacking, straddle carriers provide flexible horizontal transport across the apron, and reach stackers serve smaller facilities and inland container depots.
