Töö tootlikkus on seejuures ülisuur. Konteinerkraanad suudavad tõsta 40–50 konteinerit tunnis. Mõne tunni jooksul, mil konteinerlaev sadamas seisab, tõstetakse mitme kraanaga laeva ja sealt kaile sadu konteinereid. Konteinerkraanasid valmistatakse väga erineva suurusega. Postpanamax tüüpi kraanadega lastitakse ja lossitakse kõige suuremaid konteinerlaevu. Kõige suuremate kraanade ülestõstetava laadimiskonsooli pikkus ulatub 52 meetrini. Panamax tüüpi konteinerkraanadega laaditakse enamik suuri konteinerite veo aluseid.
