cargo crane
Freight lifting machine
A cargo crane is a crane designed for loading and unloading freight from ships, trucks, or rail cars.
Port facilities use massive cargo cranes to move shipping containers between vessels and docks.
Smaller versions appear on ships themselves, allowing cargo handling at ports without dedicated equipment: The freighter's cargo crane swung pallets onto the pier.
