Title: Zhangjiagang Port Conducts Special Illuminance Inspection for Gantry?Crane Walkway Lights to Improve Night?time Operational Safety

Date: May 14, 2025

To further guarantee safe passage for port on?site personnel working at night and elevate equipment & facility management standards, Zhangjiagang Zhenhua Port Machinery, together with a third?party professional testing institute, has carried out comprehensive inspection and evaluation on illuminance indicators of walkway lights installed on all rail?mounted container gantry cranes (RMG) across the port. This inspection constitutes a key measure for the port to implement standardized work safety requirements and optimize infrastructure.

As core handling equipment for container loading and unloading, rail?mounted gantry cranes are equipped with walkways serving as vital passages for daily patrol checks and emergency access by maintenance and operating crews. Long?term outdoor exposure gives rise to lamp ageing and dust accumulation, which degrade lighting performance. Particularly during night shifts or under low?visibility weather conditions, such deterioration creates potential safety hazards for personnel on foot.
