Cargo Handling Apparatus TRIZ Cases

Mast system raises lifting winch cable to connect fastening device, enabling safe unmanned vessel launch and recovery without personnel intervention.

Locking mechanisms fasten crane carriers to container corners on damaged ships, distributing weight across multiple units to lift 40-tonne loads safely.

Storing heavy machinery below the upper deck lowers the center of gravity, resolving vessel strength constraints around the moonpool.

A heave compensator controller adjusts rope feeding via a correction term to maintain item stability during lifting operations.

A subsea cryogenic turret connector enables LNG transfer between a floating vessel and a fixed terminal.

Autonomous underwater vehicle clamps detect and grasp recovery cables, eliminating hazardous manual intervention during extraction.

Linkage actuation transitions steps from a retracted position to a deployed configuration below the waterline, resolving accessibility constraints.

Segmenting the main tank into a low-pressure storage unit and a high-pressure sub-tank reduces pump requirements while maintaining discharge capability.

Prevents unauthorized access during loading and unloading cycles, resolving the contradiction between safety protocols and throughput rate.

Vertical guide rails enable the external platform to move freely, resolving surface area versus operability constraints.

Rotating lifting frame moves dinghies above outboard motors, preserving cockpit space and stern access.

Alternating gripping means reduce belt stress and extend service life while maintaining reliable contact during towing operations.

A gangway stanchion control mechanism coordinates distal rod movement with stanchion rotation.

Variable length hawsers compensate for wave motions and ice impacts, maintaining secure connections during dynamic loading.

A gyroscopic stabilizer with a flywheel and gimbal frame maintains vessel orientation.

Moving containers via a wheeled platform on a lighter reduces transportation time and increases dock availability for mixed cargo types.

Segmented lifting arms stabilize cargo units during transfer, preventing shifting and damage.

Converging lateral sides on a pontoon boat trailer guide direct pontoons into alignment with V-shaped bunks, reducing drift and manual effort.

Buoy assembly maintains erect riser position via inflatable units, eliminating derrick vessel requirements and reducing operational costs.

Automated container handling systems use terminal operating software to optimize vehicle routing and storage density in port facilities.
