RTG Container Gantry Crane: Rubber Tired Gantry Crane Manufacturers in China

05 Jun, 2023
Rubber Tyred gantry cranes or rtg cranes are mobile systems that can move and stack storage containers flexibly and easily. They make intermodal operations easy– the containers can be useful in other modes of transport, for instance from ship to rail and then truck.
 
DQCRANES RTG gantry cranes are designed to serve space-saving container terminals with high-grade container handling performance. We pay great attention to detail with the advanced core of the lifting components such as motors, controls, and gear reducers. You can find them available in hybrid, diesel, electric power and active load control that prevents sway, and many other competitive features.

Design Features of RTG Cranes:

DQCRANES Rubber Tire Gantry (RTG) cranes are widely used in container terminals and ports to efficiently handle shipping containers. They offer several unique features and advantages compared to other types of cranes that we offer. Our RTG cranes are unique in their own operational efficiencies.
 
  • Mobility: DQCRANES RTG cranes have high mobility due to their rubber tires, eliminating the requirement for fixed rails or tracks. This flexibility enables easy movement within ports and terminals, optimizing container handling and space utilization.
  • Versatility: Our rubber container gantry cranes are versatile, handling various container sizes and types. They can stack containers in multiple rows and heights, maximizing space utilization. The crane’s adjustable spreader accommodates different container widths, including standard and specialized containers.
  • Fast Operation: Our RTG cranes are designed for quick and efficient container handling. They have high lifting and traveling speeds, allowing for rapid movement and positioning of containers. This helps to improve the overall productivity and throughput of the terminal.
  • Environmental Friendly: Compared to other types of cranes, such as diesel-powered container cranes, RTG cranes offer environmental advantages. Our rubber gantry cranes are electrically powered and use advanced energy management systems. This reduces emissions and noise levels, making them more eco-friendly and suitable for use in environmentally sensitive areas.
  • Reduced Infrastructure Costs: RTG cranes do not require fixed rails or tracks, so they eliminate the need for costly civil engineering work to construct and maintain fences. This can result in significant cost savings during the initial setup and ongoing terminal operations.
  • Operator Comfort and Safety: Our RTG cranes prioritize operator comfort and safety. They have ergonomic cabins with excellent visibility, air conditioning, and advanced control systems, enhancing productivity and ensuring safe container handling.
  • Remote Control and Automation: Our modern RTG cranes have remote control and automation capabilities, enhancing operational efficiency. These features include container positioning systems, anti-collision systems, and advanced software for optimized container handling.

Spreaders for Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane:

There are several types of spreaders that can be used with industrial rubber tyred gantry cranes, each designed for a specific type of cargo. Some of the most common spreader types include:
 
Spreaders for Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes
  • Container spreader: This type of spreader is designed for lifting standard ISO containers. They come in various sizes to accommodate different container sizes and are usually designed with a telescopic or fixed frame.
  • Coil handling spreader: As the name suggests, these spreaders are used to lift and handle steel coils. They are usually designed with two arms that can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the coil.
  • Hook spreader: Hook spreaders are used for lifting a variety of non-standard cargo that does not fit into a standard container. They have a hook that can be adjusted to fit the specific shape of the cargo.
  • Lifting beam with adjustable hooks: This type of spreader has multiple hooks that can be adjusted to fit the size and shape of the beam. The hooks should be positioned in a way that evenly distributes the weight of the beam to prevent it from bending or breaking.
  • Lifting clamp: Lifting clamps are designed to grip onto the sides of the concrete beam securely, and then lift it without any slippage or damage. This type of spreader can be useful for beams with irregular shapes or surfaces.
  • Special purpose spreader: There are also specialized spreaders designed for specific cargo types such as timber, pipes, or machinery. These spreaders are designed to ensure that the cargo is lifted safely and securely.
