4 Leading Container Handling Gantry Cranes for Maximum Efficiency

RTG rubber tyred container gantry cranes are supported by rubber tires and typically use a diesel engine to drive a generator as a power source, allowing them to move freely within the yard without being affected by power transmission cables or other power sources.

A ship to shore container crane is a large dockside gantry crane located at container terminals, used for loading and unloading intermodal containers from container ships. The spreader can be placed on top of the container and locks onto the four locking points of the container using a twist-lock mechanism. Typically, the ship to shore container gantry crane transports one container at a time, but some of the newer cranes can lift two to four 20-foot containers simultaneously.

RMG container handling gantry cranes are supported by steel wheels, and their spans and arm lengths can be customized into three types: single cantilever, double cantilever, and no cantilever, to meet the operational requirements of different yards.

Container straddle carriers are widely used at container terminals for efficiently stacking and transporting containers. They are known for their ability to maneuver in narrow aisles and handle containers with precision. Highly flexible, container straddle carriers can operate at any location within the yard and in yards of any shape, allowing for maximum space utilization.
