How the ALP works

Full automation of the landside twistlock handling process.

ALP

The process

  1. 01

    Container set down

    The STS crane or straddle carrier places the container on the ALP platform.

  2. 02

    Discharge mode

    The ALP removes the twistlocks automatically and stores them in its internal magazines.

  3. 03

    Loading mode

    For loading, the ALP takes twistlocks from the magazines and inserts them automatically.

  4. 04

    Continuous operation

    Up to 2,400 stackers in eight magazines — enough for a full deck or hold of a 14,000 TEU vessel.
