Container crane

A container crane comprising:

• a container including first and second side walls spaced apart and generally parallel and first and second end walls extending between the side walls, each side wall including a main support channel;
• a bridge adapted to travel along the support channels, the bridge defining first and second channels aligned transversely to the main support channels wherein the first and second channels are spaced apart and generally parallel;
• a trolley adapted to travel along the first and second channels of the bridge, the trolley including a rotatable connector at a bottom surface of the trolley;
• wherein the trolley includes wheels that roll along the bridge;
• a jib coupled to the rotatable connector and having a fixed length;
• wherein the jib includes a horizontally disposed I-beam having a top plate and a bottom plate and supported by the connector;
• wherein the jib rotates with the rotatable connector relative to the trolley about a vertical axis;
• wherein the top plate of the jib rides on rollers carried by the connector to longitudinally move the jib back and forth relative to the trolley so that opposed first and second ends the jib can selectively extend away from the trolley;
• first and second stops mounted to the first and second ends of the jib respectively to stop the jib from traveling off the connector in either direction;
• a hoist adapted to travel along a length of the jib, the hoist being positionable outside the container;
• wherein the hoist includes wheels that roll along the bottom plate of the jib so that the hoist travels between a first end of the jib and a second end of the jib;
• and
• wherein each of the first and second side walls of the container has an opening and the jib can be selectively extended through each of the openings to position the hoist outside the container.
