ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for handling and storing marine containers transports containers from below using a shuttle that is movable sideways from an elevating cradle in an elevating transfer vehicle. The shuttle has four lifting devices that engage ISO fittings in the container from below. The shuttle can lift a container and travel into a bay of a large storage rack. The lifting devices then lower the container onto supporting brackets that share the ISO fitting with the lifting devices. The shuttle can move the containers within the storage rack, or to a portal where it can be temporarily stored or picked up immediately by a ground vehicle. The system also includes a dock crane buffer and an automated guided vehicle system.
