BARGED INTACT TO LONG BEACH: Three Paceco Transtainers® (container cranes) as high as a five-story building were recently loaded aboard a single barge at Alameda,

Calif., and towed to the Port of Long Beach for service in the I.T.S. container terminal.

The cranes were designed and built by Paceco, a Division of Fruehauf Corporation, for loading and unloading containers in a port terminal area. They can straddle six rows of containers and a truck roadway, and are able to stack containers four-high for maximum utility of the storage area. The new Transtainers are capable of lifting two 20-foot con- tainers simultaneously, and are equipped with telescoping spreaders to handle 20-foot, 27-foot, and 40-foot containers. Each crane has a rated 40-long-ton capacity. The cranes were ready for operation shortly after they were unloaded from the barge at the Port of Long Beach.
