Different Uses of Port Gantry Crane

Port gantry crane provides highly efficient handling of containers from medium to largest size. This container port gantry crane comes in different types and sizes for various lifting purposes. We provide two main port gantry cranes to serve your wide range of applications.

Rail mounted gantry crane

The rail mounted crane is the most commonly used type at dockside to lift and move heavy goods, which is also called RMG crane for short. It can also serve as a ship to shore gantry crane to load and unload intermodal containers from vessels. It usually travels along two rails and lifts a single container at once. However, some advanced port cranes are able to handle two or more containers at once. Unlike typical gantry crane, the rail mounted container gantry crane is equipped with a specialized spreader which utilizes a locking mechanism to lock onto four corners of the containers to realize a safe and stable operation. The rail mounted type gantry crane has significantly accelerated the operations at ports with plenty of benefits such as little maintenance of electric spreaders, high durability, less positioning time and excellent performance.

Rubber tyred gantry crane

Rubber tired gantry crane, also known as RTG crane, is employed to lift and move heavy cargoes such as containers and stack them in the storage yards. It can pile up containers three-to-four high and six wide so as to save much space. The portable gantry lifting system provides a much more convenient movement in contrast to rail mounted type, making it increasingly popular at ports and container terminals.

At present, most of container port rubber tyred gantry crane is powered by diesel engines, which requires large energy and maintenance costs, so the electric portable gantry crane is getting more popular among users. The RTG container crane is usually equipped with many protection devices to ensure a secure operation such as anti-swaying system, overload limiter and anti-collision system.
