The Konecranes Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) crane is a great example of our ability to be SMARTER WHERE IT MATTERS in the design of container handling equipment.
A very significant feature of the Konecranes yard cranes is that they eliminated hydralic systems for gantry heel turning (RTG), sway-prevention or spreader micro motions. Especially in harsh marine conditions this is a big advantage offering higher reliability and less downtime.
Our RTG cranes comply with traditional RTG performance specifications. They also offer, as standard, several innovative features that significantly increase performance and reliability while decreasing maintenance costs. Our 16-wheel RTG comes with Active Load Control while our 8-wheel RTG comes with electric anti-sway.
What’s the value of an RTG’s ability to handle variations in a yard surface? How much is it worth to reduce yard reinforcement costs?Some RTGs can handle only a 5 cm variation in yard surfaces. A working Konecranes RTG can handle up to 15 cm.
