Why is continuous welding critical for safety cages?
Continuous welding is the use of heat, pressure or a combination of both to fuse two workpieces into a seamless joint.

TEC Container's determination of a safety factor such as 10 is based on rigorous engineering calculations, extensive testing and adherence to industry standards.
Nos vemos en Panamá la próxima semana! See you in Panama next week!
TEC Container will once again be exhibiting at TOC Americas, an event described by the organisers as "America's most trusted event for the port and container supply chain community", and we couldn't agree more.
Like a mother with her two children! Somehow it seems that the mother (the straddle carrier) is posing for the pictures with her two children (the overheight frames). In one of the pictures she even has one of them on her lap. The pictures were taken when they arrived at their new home: one of the container terminals in the Copenhagen Malmö Port.
First the 'children'. The BA-030H is an overheight frame designed for spreaders, ideal for handling oversized cargo, flat racks and platforms. This versatile model is universally compatible with all existing spreaders. It has a lifting capacity of 50 tonnes, a free height of 2500 mm and is available in two sizes, 20F and 40F (both fixed), with a tare weight of 2.5 tonnes for the 20F and 3.1 tonnes for the 40F. As we have written extensively about this model in previous posts, today we invite you to visit our technical information page for this product:

Secondly, the 'mother'. The straddle carrier looks like a large mobile crane with a U-shaped frame. The carrier drives over a container, lifts it with a spreader and transports it to its destination, while the operator, seated high up in a cabin, has a clear view of the operation. Straddle carriers can stack containers and manoeuvre in tight spaces, making them essential for organising and moving containers around the terminal quickly and efficiently.
The straddle carrier in the pictures was manufactured by Konecranes and, together with other straddle carriers from the same company, is called Konecranes Noell. This name reflects not only Konecranes' expertise, but also the heritage of Noell Crane Systems GmbH, a German company acquired by the Finnish company in 2006. The combined name recognises the heritage and expertise of both brands in container handling equipment.
Third, the "home". The construction of the 8-kilometre-long Öresund Bridge significantly increased cultural and economic integration in the Öresund region, promoting greater interaction and cooperation between Denmark and Sweden. One immediate result was the merger of the ports of Copenhagen and Malmö to form Copenhagen Malmö Port—the only port in the world with two home countries. CMP is a full-service port, accommodating all types of vessels and handling a wide range of goods. CMP operates as a single unit with a unified management structure and shared resources.
Let's wish the 'mother' and the 'children' all the best in their new 'home'.

TOC Europe 2024 website states that the event is the annual general meeting for port and cargo supply chain professionals. We could not agree more, but we would also add that TOC is the show that no major OEM of container terminal equipment can afford to miss!
TEC Container has attended many TOC Europe and TOC America and has already started attending TOC Africa, and we will continue to attend as each event brings new orders from existing and new customers.
As space is limited on LinkedIn, here are a few words about our shore power installations. Our system in Las Palmas has been operational for over 15 months, providing eight hours of power each night to the world's longest ferry, the Eleanor Roosevelt from Baleària.
Our goal with shore power is to improve the health and well-being of port communities by reducing air pollution and noise levels at terminals while maintaining full operational capacity. We are committed to minimising the carbon footprint of ports. Our shore power systems can be either fixed or mobile, and we are equipped to handle both high and low voltage requirements to meet different port specifications and vessel needs. All our shore power products are designed to comply with the international connection standard (ISO/IEC/IEEE 80005).
And soon you will hear about the shore power equipment we are supplying to the Port of Cadiz! Let's just give you three figures: 16 MW of power, 55 metres of cable and an impressive 10 metre telescopic arm.
But come and see us on stand C38 to find out more about not only our shore power equipment, but also our spreaders, lashing cages and overheight frames!

"TOC is important for TEC Container because it gives us the opportunity to showcase our innovations, learn about the latest trends in the industry and make valuable contacts with other professionals and potential customers".
In container shipping, 'empties' refers to the practice of empty container repositioning, i.e. moving empty shipping containers from areas where they have been unloaded and are no longer in use to areas where they are needed for loading.

Watch this fantastic one-minute video created by our marketing team! You can almost see yourself in the stevedore's protective workwear, entering the safety cage of the gondola and being lifted by a Ship-to-Shore (STS) crane

No other country in Latin America can compete with the USA in a logistics event, except Brazil! Once again this year, INTERMODAL South America will be held in Sao Paulo from 5 to 7 March, while TPM 24 will be held in Long Beach from 3 to 6 March.
We invite you to watch a wonderful 2-minute video created by our virtual designers of the most popular of our overheight frames (OHF)—the BA-030H. 🎥It begins with a long shot of a container terminal. The stacks of containers on the right, the ship docked on the left
They are called lashing cages, but we like to call them safety cages because our cages really do come with a battery of safety features like no other on the market! Take a look at the video and see if you can identify all the features of our safety cages.
TOC Europe 2024 is just around the corner! We have been to so many TOC Europe, TOC Americas and last year to TOC Africa for the first time and we keep coming back. TOC is an event where ports, especially container terminals, attend as visitors
Have you ever wondered how stevedores unlash containers on today's huge container ships? As the container stacks can be up to 11 tiers high, it is absolutely impossible to do this with long actuator poles unless you are at least 60 metres tall :) as the tiers can be up to 67 metr
Do you want to see how just one word in one of our brochures can open up a world of wonder and knowledge? At TEC CONTAINER S.A., we manufacture telescopic overheight frames and spreaders for 20-40-45ft, which are the three standard sizes that a container ship can easily handle.
