Rtg crane port

The Rubber Tire Gantry (RTG) crane is a type of mobile crane that operates on rubber tires instead of rails. These cranes are commonly used in ports and shipping yards to handle containers. The RTG cranes are capable of lifting and moving heavy loads with precision and efficiency. The RTG crane is equipped with a spreader that can be lowered and raised to pick up and set down containers. In addition, the spreader can also be rotated to position the container in the desired location.

Applications of RTG cranes

RTG cranes are typically used in container handling operations at ports and shipping yards. The cranes are used to lift and move containers from ships to the yard and vice versa. They are particularly useful in situations where there is no rail infrastructure in place. The RTG cranes can easily navigate the yard to transport containers to and from the storage area. Besides, they are often used in intermodal yards to transfer containers between trucks and trains. The mobility of the RTG crane allows for efficient and flexible container handling operations.

Features of RTG cranes

The ZPMC RTG crane specification is designed for lifting and transporting containers. They are equipped with a specialized spreader that can be lowered and raised to pick up and set down containers. The spreader can also be rotated to position the container in the desired location. The ZPMC RTG crane is typically powered by diesel engines. The cranes are equipped with rubber tires to provide mobility on the ground. They can move in all directions and are capable of turning in tight spaces. The control system of the RTG crane is designed for efficient and precise operation. The operator can control the crane from a control cabin located on the crane or remotely from a control room.

Advantages of RTG cranes

The RTG cranes offer several advantages for container handling in ports and shipping yards. One of the key advantages of the RTG crane is its mobility. The cranes can move around the yard freely and do not require fixed rails, making them suitable for yards with limited infrastructure. The electric RTG cranes offer a significant advantage in terms of environmental impact. They produce lower emissions than diesel-powered cranes, reducing the carbon footprint of container handling operations. The Konecranes RTG cranes are known for their robust construction and high lifting capacity. They can handle heavy containers with ease, ensuring efficient and reliable operation. The RTG cranes can be customized to suit the specific requirements of the port or shipping yard. This customization includes the number of wheels, lifting capacity, and control systems. The operators are trained to operate the RTG cranes safely and efficiently. The cranes are also equipped with safety features, such as load sensors and emergency stop buttons, to ensure the well-being of the operators and others in the vicinity.
