Control solutions for the port industry
Long operating shifts, heavy time pressure and machine downtime are some of the challenges for container terminals in the port industry. Having reliable and ergonomic solutions is a must for terminal operations to stay competitive with the changing demands of global trade. To support this dynamic industry, we have designed a complete range of joysticks, control stations, and cabins for cranes of all types.
What sets Spohn + Burkhardt apart is our ability to offer complete integrated solutions from a single source that are customized to your requirements.
Minimizing downtime
From rugged joystick controls to ergonomic, maintenance friendly control stations, we specialize in complete integrated control solutions designed specifically for container terminal crane applications. Whether ship-to-shore cranes (STS), gantry cranes (RTG, RMG), or straddle cranes, the Spohn + Burkhardt product line offers reliability and comfort to help minimize downtime and maximize productivity.
Control stations
The operation of cranes in container terminals require endurance and precision. To enable comfortable and healthy work, we have equipped our control stations with a variety of adjustment options and excellent ergonomics.
Our comfort seats are recognizable by the effectively contoured backrest, optimal side support, and lamellar structure that offloads the spine. On request, we can also integrate a headrest, electric seat heater and operator presence switch for additional comfort and safety. Specific control station models also boast options like memory functionality to store positions for easy recall - making multi-shift operations a breeze.
The ideal seat is supplemented with footrests that rotate with the station, which can be offered in different designs and levels of adjustments.
The control consoles can be variably tilted and swiveled with gas-spring support. As a result, the console cover has a slight inward slope in order to provide the best possible arm support. The angle of the armrests can be individually adjusted with optional length adjustment.
To ensure an unobstructed view, the comfort seat has an optional seat cushion cut-out. This gives a clear line of sight below for the operator. In the process, the tilt of the entire seat can be adjusted individually and it can be moved on a horizontal rail. In addition, the control stations can be equipped with electric or manual rotation.
All features are customizable; we tailor your control station(s) to your specific requirements.
