Ports & Terminals
Keeping global trade moving.
From ship-to-shore cranes to RTGs and reach stackers — ELS supports port and terminal operators with repair, spare parts, lifecycle extensions, and precision machining. Headquartered in Rotterdam, we understand port operations inside and out.
Engineering for Port Operations
Maximising uptime in 24/7 environments
Ports never sleep — and neither does the pressure on your equipment. STS cranes, RTGs, and spreader systems operate under extreme duty cycles, salt spray corrosion, and constant load variation. ELS provides the engineering support that keeps your terminal running.
All brands, all vintages
Whether you operate Liebherr, Kalmar, ZPMC, Konecranes, or legacy Nelcon and Fantuzzi equipment, our engineers have the experience to service and repair your fleet. We are not tied to any OEM, which means unbiased advice and competitive pricing.
Our Rotterdam headquarters gives us direct access to Europe's busiest port cluster, while our China office ensures cost-effective manufacturing and quality-controlled spare parts supply from Asian production facilities.
From emergency breakdown support to multi-year lifecycle extension programmes, ELS is a single partner for all your port equipment engineering needs — covering mechanical, electrical, structural, and hydraulic systems.
STS & RTG Crane Expertise
Ship-to-shore and rubber-tyred gantry cranes are the backbone of container terminal operations. ELS engineers specialise in the complete mechanical and electrical systems of these machines — from hoist gearboxes and trolley drives to spreader mechanisms and anti-sway systems.
We carry out on-site repairs, component refurbishment, spare parts supply, and full modernisation projects including control system upgrades and electrification of diesel-powered RTGs.
