French term or phrase: portique de parc
L’achat de matériels de manutention, dont des *portiques de quai et de parc*.

As I understand it, "portique de quai" is a gantry crane, but I am uncertain that I have the correct term for "portique de parc" - is it an overhead crane?

Thank you - the idea was that there was budget allocated for cranes on the docks as well as the terminal where containers are stored.

neutral  polyglot45: I would omit the "overhead" since nothing actually says that's what they are - also "quai" may not be quayside - it may be simply a loading dock or loading bay

Yard gauntry crane


Explanation:
No doubt: "portique" = "gantry crane".
"Quai" = "pier" (or wharf, quasi synonymous)

"Parc" = "yard"

container lift


Explanation:
obviously depends on what the port handles... perhaps "cargo lift"

cf. Gimages, etc.
