XCMG MQH37A Container Side Crane

Overview

The XCMG MQH37A is a container side crane that loads, unloads and transfers containers with a single machine — including self-loading and unloading and vehicle-to-vehicle transfer. It is widely used at container logistics yards, port freight transfer stations, railway container terminals, warehouses and customs facilities, where its fast, flexible handling is valued.

Key Features

• One machine, multiple jobs — container self-loading and unloading, and vehicle-to-vehicle transfer.
• Sliding front and rear cranes — handle both 20 ft and 40 ft containers, giving wide container compatibility.
• Independent variable-speed engine — twin pumps deliver hydraulic oil through a confluence valve block to the multi-way valve blocks of the two series-connected side cranes, driving each set of actuators with wide combined-motion flexibility.
• High/low-pressure twin-pump system — both pumps supply high flow in low-pressure conditions, while at high pressure the low-pressure side is unloaded to a smaller flow, balancing working speed with fuel economy.
• Twist-lock chain mechanism — the twist locks rotate and lock automatically inside the container corner castings when loading, and stay locked by a limit device during transport.
• Remote wireless control — matched with load-sensing electro-hydraulic proportional multi-way valves for safe, comfortable operation and stepless speed control.

Applications

Container logistics, port freight transfer stations, railway container terminals, warehouses and customs facilities.
