The electric hoist rubber tyred gantry crane is a flexible, mobile lifting solution. Its hoisting mechanism can utilize an electric wire rope or a hoist trolley, with a design lifting capacity ranging from 1 to 50 tons and a span of up to 35 meters. This equipment is primarily used for industrial material handling in precast concrete plants, steel structure fabrication shops, machinery manufacturing plants, logistics centers, and construction sites.
An Electric Hoist Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane is a mobile lifting system that pairs a rubber-tyred gantry structure with an electric hoist. This equipment has a lifting capacity ranging from 1 to 50 tons and a span of up to 35 meters. It is commonly used in precast concrete plants, steel structure manufacturing workshops, and steel yards.
This equipment is a lifting device that utilizes a rubber-tired travel mechanism. Its hoisting mechanism is equipped with an electric wire rope hoist or chain hoist, with a rated lifting capacity of 1 to 50 tons and a duty class ranging from M3 to M6. Unlike container rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG cranes), which are specifically designed for continuous stacking operations, this model is primarily used for general industrial lifting operations in precast concrete plants, steel structure manufacturing workshops, and various storage yards. Because its gantry legs use rubber tires rather than fixed rails, operators can flexibly reposition the crane within the site without the need to lay tracks, thereby saving on track installation costs.
This RTG crane, which uses an electric hoist as its lifting mechanism, is available in both single-girder and double-girder configurations, which differ in lifting capacity and main girder design.
Single Girder Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane
Double Beam RTG Crane
Single Girder Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane: The single-girder type typically handles 1 to 20 tons using one box-girder bridge on two rubber-tyred legs. Depending on the required clear height and working class, users can choose to configure either a CD/MD-type wire rope electric hoist or a European electric hoist as the lifting system.
Double Beam Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane: This double-girder structure has a load-bearing capacity of 5 to 50 tons and features two parallel box girders, providing greater structural strength and rigidity. For precast beams of equal length or asymmetrical loads, where optimal load distribution is required, users can choose to install a single hoist trolley above the main girder or install one independent electric hoist at each of the four corners to achieve synchronized multi-point lifting.
This electric hoist rubber tyred gantry crane is characterized by high mobility, high efficiency, and strong adaptability to various site conditions. Compared to rail-mounted gantry cranes, it does not require the installation of fixed tracks and can be moved freely on rubber tires, making it suitable for different work areas and temporary stockpile sites. Their key features include:
High Flexibility: This electric hoist rubber tyred gantry crane utilizes a rubber-tired travel system, enabling it to operate and move within the area without the need for fixed rails.
Simple Design and Low Maintenance Costs: This electric hoist features a more compact design, minimizing the use of complex mechanical transmission components. The lifting mechanism utilizes standardized lifting components, making maintenance convenient and ensuring a stable supply of spare parts.
Low Investment Cost: This equipment features a single- or double-girder structure and an electric hoist lifting system, which reduces the weight of the steel structure and the overall manufacturing complexity of the machine.
Wide Range of Applications: This equipment is suitable for precast concrete plants, steel structure factories, logistics yards, machinery manufacturing plants, and other similar settings.
Stable Operation and Precise Control: Equipped with an advanced electrical control system, this equipment ensures smooth lifting and operation.
High Adaptability to Site Conditions: This equipment does not require a fixed operating route and can adapt to various ground conditions and open work areas.
Energy-Efficient, Environmentally Friendly, and Low Operating Costs: This equipment is electrically powered, featuring low energy consumption and minimal noise during operation.
Quick Installation and Flexible Deployment: Its modular design facilitates transportation, installation, and commissioning.
Typically, operators use an electric hoist rubber tyred gantry crane to lift materials in precast concrete plants, steel structure fabrication shops, and machinery manufacturing facilities.
Precast Concrete Component Plants: Precast concrete manufacturers use electric hoist RTG cranes to handle precast beams, tunnel segments, concrete wall panels, and other large components.
Steel Structure Manufacturing Plants: Steel structure manufacturers use electric-hoist rubber-tyred gantry cranes to lift H-beams, steel plates, steel structure modules, and other materials.
Steel Storage Yards: Users employ this equipment for the loading, unloading, and stacking of steel coils, steel pipes, structural steel, and other metal materials.
Railway Engineering and Mass Transit Facilities: Railway project contractors use this equipment to handle sleepers, precast bridge components, subway tunnel segments, and other mass transit components.
Industrial Manufacturing Facilities: Operators use electric hoist double-girder RTG cranes to handle large equipment components, machine parts, and workpieces.
Logistics Centers and Inland Storage Yards: Logistics operators and warehousing companies use electric hoist RTG cranes for cargo stacking, loading and unloading, and on-site transfer operations.
Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering Facilities: Shipbuilding companies use electric hoist rubber-tyred gantry cranes to handle ship hull sections, steel structure modules, and large equipment components.
Large-Scale Construction Project Sites: Construction companies use electric hoist RTG cranes to handle bridge components, building materials, and construction equipment.

Mobile hoist cranes can be used outdoors if designed with weather-resistant materials and proper surface conditions. For outdoor applications, features such as corrosion-resistant coatings, durable wheels, and stable braking systems are important.
Missing a single inspection step on an RTG crane can turn a minor issue into a full equipment shutdown. For terminal maintenance teams managing high-cycle operations, a reliable RTG crane inspection checklist is not a formality — it is a frontline tool for protecting equipment, people, and productivity. This guide breaks down exactly what needs to be inspected, at what frequency, and what warning signs to watch for. Whether you are standardizing your existing process or building one from scratch, this checklist framework gives you a clear, practical starting point. Why a Structured Inspection Checklist Makes a Difference From Guesswork to Consistency Without a written checklist, inspection quality depends entirely on individual memory and experience. One operator may check tyre pressure and skip the cable reel. Another may focus on the spreader and overlook brake condition. The result is uneven coverage and missed faults. A structured checklist removes that variability. Every operator, every shift, covers the same ground in the same order. Issues get caught earlier. Repair costs stay lower. Downtime becomes more predictable and less frequent. Compliance and Liability…
When deciding between an RTG crane vs container straddle carrier, purchasers should focus on the differences in the functional characteristics of these two types of equipment rather than on throughput. RTG rubber tyred gantry cranes are suitable for container terminals with high stacking densities, while container straddle carriers are suitable for terminals that require the ability to access any container at any time. This guide aims to help decision-makers determine which crane system can minimize the total number of container moves per hour, given the terminal’s actual stacking ratio and truck arrival patterns. The goal is to assist terminal operators in selecting the most suitable container handling equipment. VOITTO Crane is committed to providing users with valuable guidance. What is RTG Crane?
