ALP and ALP-S

Customized solutions for your individual terminal operation — with the same twistlock technology at their core.

Quick operation, automatic storage

ALP – Twistlock handling

KALP GmbH developed a fast and reliable system which can fix and remove twistlocks and furthermore stores most of the twistlock and stacker types currently available in internal magazines in a fully automatic process.

These magazines can hold up to 2,400 stackers; the twin-lift capable ALP is equipped with eight magazines.

Given balanced load and discharge figures, the ALP magazines provide capacity for discharging and loading a full deck or hold of containers of the 14,000 TEU container vessels of the last generation (300 deck moves / 360 hold moves).

Self-sufficient · Straddle carrier terminals

ALP

Driven by a self-sufficient hydraulic system, best for straddle carrier terminals. No external energy supply is required, and it is easily portable by STS crane and straddle carrier. Especially green terminals with a high environmental awareness will prefer this version of the ALP. It meets all the requirements of CO₂ reduction and offers a wide variety of green credentials. Neither electricity nor diesel is required when using the ALP for operation under the STS crane.

Integrated · STS cranes with lashing platforms

ALP-S

The solution for STS cranes with pre-installed lashing platforms. Designed to be installed and operated directly on STS cranes with the same twistlock technology features as the ALP. The ALP-S is integrated in a significantly small frame, and can be operated electrically or electro-hydraulically according to customer requirements. Due to its position on the crane above the quay area, the ALP-S concentrates the pinning process in its isolated position, separating the different operational areas and making them independent. The ALP-S can be connected to the power supply of the STS crane.
