Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes

Rail-mounted gantry crane (RMG) are specialized yard container handling machines. An RMG travels on rails to lift and stack 20 or 40’ containers in the yard area using a spreader (or twin-lift spreader if needed). Rail mounted cranes come in a variety of models with different spans and overhangs. These cranes are specifically designed for the intensive container stacking requirements of today’s port environment. Compared with the rubber-tyred gantry crane(RTG), the RMG has the advantages of being driven by electrical power, clean, bigger lifting capacity, and high gantry traveling speed with cargo. Rail-Mounted Gantry cranes have proven particularly effective for rail/road transhipments of large quantities of containers and swap bodies. The cranes required for this purpose must be able to move quickly in both a longitudinal and a transverse direction. These cranes also offer advantages with respect to automatic positioning.
