Abstract: A container terminal (1) for handling containers (2), in particular ISO containers, wherein the container terminal has at least one high-rack store (3) and at least one container-depositing surface (4), which is arranged outside the high-rack store, and a plurality of container transport vehicles (5) for transporting the containers, wherein the high-rack store (3) has a plurality of storage levels (6) arranged above one another and, in each storage level (6), a plurality of rack compartments (7) for receiving at least one of the containers (2), wherein each storage level (6) has, between the rack compartments (7), at least one travelway (8) over which the container transport vehicles (5) can travel, and the container terminal (1) has at least one entry and exit arrangement (9) which connects the container-depositing surface (4) to the travelways (8) in the storage levels (6) and over which the container transport vehicles (5) can travel.

Abstract: A crane controller for controlling travel movements of a crane, in particular a portal crane. The crane controller includes control electronics and at least one input device, connected to the control electronics, having a grip part, a main axis of the grip part is swivellable together with the grip part in at least two swivel directions oriented, in particular orthogonally, in relation to one another, and the control electronics are able to generate electrical signals, for actuating at least one actuator of the crane, on the basis of an adjustment of the grip part relative to an original position of the grip part. The grip part has its main axis additionally displaceable in at least two, preferably three, different displacement directions relative to the original position and/or is rotatable about the main axis, and the control electronics generate electrical signals for actuating the at least one actuator of the crane.

Abstract: A load transport system having a load carrier and at least one load receiving device which for receiving the load is fastened to the load carrier, and at least three positioning cables and at least three suspension devices, each suspension device has at least one positioning cable winch for winding and unwinding one of the positioning cables. The load carrier is suspended from the suspension devices by the positioning cables. The load carrier and the load receiving device fastened thereto are relocatable by activating the positioning cable winches, and the load carrier has at least one multi-cable suspension to which at least two of the positioning cables are connected via cable connectors. Each of the cable connectors is mounted on the multi-cable suspension to be pivotable about at least two pivot axes aligned to be mutually orthogonal, and all pivot axes of the cable connectors intersect in a common intersection point of this multi-cable suspension.

Abstract: A transport unit (1) for transporting at least one container (31) or another load, wherein the transport unit (1) has at least one trolley (2) and at least one load suspension device (3) and at least eight lifting cables (20-27), and the load suspension device (3) has connecting means (14) for fastening the container (31) or the other load and is suspended on the trolley (2) such that it can be lifted and lowered by the lifting cables (20-27), wherein the lifting cables (20-27) can be wound up on cable drums (4) which are rotatably mounted on the trolley (2), wherein each lifting cable (20-27) can be wound up and/or is wound up at least in part on a separate cable drum (4), and the rotational speed and/or the direction of rotation for all the cable drums (4) can each be set individually.
