Different Types of Container Gantry Crane for Sale
We mainly produce three kinds of gantry cranes to suit different container handling needs. Before choosing a crane for your application, you should take a close look at these types of gantry cranes and their differences in order to make the best option.
- Rail mounted container gantry crane
This RMG crane is widely used in rail transfer yards and large storage yards to load, unload, transfer and stack a large quantity of containers. This type of gantry crane usually travels on a fixed rail path and mainly consists of main beam, rigid and flexible legs, running trolleys, lifting mechanism, crane running mechanism, electrical system and cab.
The main beam can be outreached at one side or both sides to form a single cantilever or double cantilevers, or else you can choose a cantilever-free model. The use of cantilever structure is determined by the working site, the container lifting and transferring requirements. For instance, when you need to move containers through two legs, the rail mounted container crane with double cantilevers is the best option as it expands lifting space and has greater headroom. The RMG container crane without cantilever has relatively simple structure as it does not require containers to pass through the space between two legs.
Rail mounted gantry crane parameters:
- Load capacity: 30-50t
- Span: 18-35m
- Lifting height: 12.3-21m
- Lifting speed: 9.2-12.5m/min
- Trolley running speed: 45-56m/min
- Crane running speed: 42-50m/min
- Work duty: A6-A8
- Rubber-tyred gantry crane
This RTG crane is a mobile gantry crane widely applied in container terminals and depots. This container handling gantry crane can move loads from one freight yard to another easily and reach every corners of working areas. Due to the mobility, this crane is powered by diesel generator sets. It is also equipped with anti-swing device to prevent the spreader swing during operation. In order to transport to other working sites, this equipment is also equipped with right-angle steering mechanism. The crane running mechanism is driven by two or four wheels according to your specific needs. Besides, in order to prevent collision between RTG cranes or between the crane and container, manual deviation correction system an anti-collision device are set. This rubber tyred gantry crane is typically operated in the cab.
Rubber tired container gantry crane parameters:
- Lifting Capacity: 30t~50t
- Span Length: 22~28m
- Lifting Speed: 12~46m/min
- Crane Speed: 45-90m/min
- Operating Temperature: -20℃~40℃
