Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane Price

Given that an RTG rubber tyred gantry crane is a highly customized product, it is difficult to provide a precise price without knowing your specific needs. Some main factors affecting RTG crane price:
 

1. Lifting Capacity: The lifting capacity of a rubber tyre gantry crane directly impacts its cost. Higher lifting capacities require more robust materials, stronger motors, and additional safety features, which drive up the RTG crane price.
2. Span and Lifting Height: The span (the distance between the legs of the gantry crane) and the lifting height (how high the crane can lift a load) are significant pricing factors. The larger the span and lifting height, the more expensive the crane becomes.
3. Customization Requirements: Since rubber tyred gantry is custom-built to meet the unique demands of each application, customization can significantly influence the gantry crane price. Factors like specialized lifting tools, custom control systems, and tailored crane designs will increase the overall cost. However, these customizations ensure that the crane perfectly suits your operational requirements, potentially boosting efficiency and productivity.
4. Mobility Features: Rubber tyred gantry RTG with advanced steering systems tend to have a higher cost. For example, a crane with a 4-wheel steering system will be better than one with a 2-wheel steering system.
5. Operational Environment: The working conditions where the rubber tire gantry will operate can also play a role in determining the price. If the crane is required to work in harsh environments, such as areas with extreme temperatures or corrosive materials, it will need additional protective measures, such as corrosion-resistant materials or insulation, which increases the cost.
6. Shipping and Installation Costs: The cost of transporting the RTG gantry crane to your site and the complexity of installation are often overlooked but can significantly impact the total price. Depending on the size and specifications of the RTG crane, shipping and handling fees, as well as installation charges, could vary. Additionally, specialized labor or engineering expertise required during installation may further increase costs.
