Discription
A Rubber Tyred Container Gantry Crane (RTG) is a mobile, self-propelled gantry crane widely used in container terminals, ports, and intermodal yards for stacking and transporting shipping containers. Unlike rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGs), RTGs operate on rubber tires, allowing flexible movement across the yard without fixed tracks. Typically powered by diesel generators or hybrid/electric systems, RTGs are known for their high mobility, efficiency, and adaptability in various port operations
Why Choose an Rubber Tyred Container Gantry Crane?
●Mobility & Flexibility
No fixed rails required, enabling easy repositioning between stacking lanes and storage areas.
Ideal for ports with limited space or those requiring frequent reconfiguration of container layouts.
●High Efficiency & Productivity
Capable of stacking containers up to 6 high and 7 wide, optimizing yard space utilization.
Fast trolley and gantry movement speeds (up to 50 m/min) ensure quick container handling.
● Energy & Cost Efficiency
Modern RTGs feature hybrid or electric power options (e.g., lithium batteries, supercapacitors, or grid power via sliding contacts), reducing fuel costs by 25–40%.
Regenerative braking recovers energy during lowering and deceleration, further cutting operational expenses.
● Automation & Smart Features
Compatible with GPS-guided positioning, automatic stacking programs (ASP), and remote control for precision operations.
Advanced anti-sway systems and load-sensing technologies enhance safety and reduce manual intervention.
● Environmental Benefits
“Green RTG” models (electric/hybrid) eliminate diesel emissions, aligning with global carbon-reduction policies.
Noise reduction compared to traditional diesel-powered cranes, improving working conditions.
