Rubber-Tyred Gantry Crane (RTG): Complete Guide for Container Yard Lifting


Rubber‑Tyred Gantry Crane is widely put to work inside container yards, inland logistics depots, port auxiliary zones and heavy‑material storage yards. Day‑to‑day jobs include container stacking, truck loading & unloading, and heavy‑cargo transfer. Modern RTGs support diesel‑generator, hybrid or full‑electric power options, so you can pick the power mode matching your local site conditions and emission rules.


Core Construction & Practical Features

What really makes RTG stand out comes down to its solid hardware and user‑friendly design?

Heavy‑duty rubber tire undercarriage: Oversized solid rubber tires handle uneven hardened ground well. It supports multi‑direction free steering and cross‑yard travelling. No rail installation is needed at all。


High‑strength box‑type main girder: Built with Q355 high‑tensile steel, finished with heavy‑duty anti‑corrosion outdoor paint, holding up well against rain, sun and wind for long‑term outdoor service.


Complete standard safety package: Overload limiter, height & travel limit switches, anti‑collision device, wind speed alarm, emergency stop button. All these safety items come as standard for outdoor round‑clock operation.


Flexible operation choices: Wired pendant control or wireless radio remote control. Variable frequency drive delivers smooth lifting, trolley travel and full‑crane travelling, reducing load swing during handling.


Full‑range customization: Lifting capacity, span, lifting height, power supply and working duty class can all be adjusted exactly to match your real‑world site conditions.
