RTG Crane, also known as rubber tyred gantry cranes, are gantry cranes that rely on tires to move freely across the yard surface. It is mainly used for container loading and unloading, stacking, transshipment, and other tasks in environments such as ports or railway material hubs. Their core features lie in their maneuverability and efficient yard space utilization, making them an ideal solution for container terminals and logistics yards. Next, this article will delve into the definition, price, and parts of RTG crane to help you better understand the rubber tyred gantry crane.

What Is A Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane

Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane (RTG for short) is a kind of special lifting equipment dedicated to stacking operations in container yards. The RTG crane excels in material handling. With a lifting capacity of up to 70 tons and a span of 23.47-26 meters, it can stack six containers. It uses rubber tires as its walking device, does not require laying rail tracks on the ground, and can also move freely inside the material yard, which effectively reduces the customer’s construction costs.

RTG Crane Parts

The RTG Crane Parts of a gantry steel frame structure, rubber-tyred travel mechanism, hoisting mechanism, trolley operating device, power system, and safety protection system. These Parts work in tandem to complete container loading, unloading, stacking, and transshipment. The following is an introduction to the functions of each component:

RTG Crane Parts
  • Gantry steel frame structure: The main beam and legs form the main frame, supporting the entire machine structure and bearing the entire load.
  • Rubber-tyred travel mechanism: Tire-type design, equipped with a hydraulic or electric drive system, supports 0°~90° steering, and can rotate on the spot.
  • Hoisting mechanism: Equipped with professional container spreaders to achieve vertical lifting of containers.
  • Trolley operating device: The lifting mechanism is made to move laterally along the main beam and is equipped with a limit protection device.
  • Power system: It adopts diesel-electric hybrid or pure electric drive and is equipped with variable frequency control to provide power support for the entire machine.
  • Safety protection system: Equipped with wind protection devices, limit switches, GPS/laser positioning and video monitoring to monitor operational safety and positioning accuracy in real time.
  • Special container spreader: Rotating locking device, which can automatically or manually lock the container corner fittings.
