THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURE FOR LIFTING HEAVY LOAD

There are a total of 5,285,131,600 matrix ton of cargos being import and export from the world’s top 15 seaports in year 2010, import and export is a very important economic issue in the world today. However, handling of containers is troublesome and very time consuming. Containers are normally in a stack of 5 to 6 in seaport. When the bottom one needs to be removed, we need to remove the entire top container one by one. This is very slow and not efficient. Thus, we need a method that is able to remove the container without removing the top container one by one. The Mobicon system has a product name mobicon that are able to move containers to designated area. According to that concept and with the help of some clamps, removing the bottom container without removing the top container one by one becomes possible. We only need to clamp all the top containers and take out the container we need. After the data collection and comparison of the efficiency of this new method with the old container removing method, the efficiency of the new system is proven 400% better than then old system. Besides, the feasibility of the system to work in reality will also be simulated with ADAMS.
