Abstract
Railway container transhipment device for moving a container, wherein the device includes two underframes. Each underframe includes a crane unit, whereby the crane units are adapted to cooperate with one another. Each of the two crane units include a lower boom, and upper boom, a lower moving gear adapted to move the lower boom, an upper moving gear adapted to move the upper boom, and a lifting element arranged on the upper boom. An axial moving unit connects the two underframes and is adapted to adjust a distance between the two underframes. When the two crane units move the container, the railway container transhipment device is capable of adjusting an angle of movement of each of the two crane units which is proportional to the distance between the two underframes. This abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
