Rubber-tyred gantry cranes are a type of lifting equipment widely used in ports, storage yards, logistics parks, and other places. Recently, a UAE customer contacted us to request a lifting crane for their factory. At their factory, they often need to carry heavy objects and incur a lot of labour costs. To save running costs, they decided to order a lifting machine to replace workers. An efficient lifting crane will save running costs and improve production efficiency. Therefore, this client wanted to order a lifting crane from us. After knowing their requirements, we set a technical solution based on their needs. At last, we recommend the rubber-tired gantry crane to them. And the crane has finished production and shipped to the United Arab Emirates, etc. If you also have a plan to order a lifting crane from China, please send us the specifications you require. And we will send you the price as soon as possible.
Why Is The RTG crane Hot-Selling?
1. Flexible mobility, no tracks required: Supported by large tubeless tires, it can freely turn without the need for track laying, enabling quick switching between different operation areas.
2. Wide operation coverage: The gantry structure, combined with a rotating platform, offers a large operation range, capable of covering multiple rows of container stacks and supporting cross-container operations.
3. High lifting capacity, adaptable to various loads: With a lifting capacity range of 5 to 50 tons or even higher, it can handle 20 to 45-foot standard containers and is also suitable for bulk cargo, large items, etc.
4. Strong site adaptability: No complex foundation construction is needed; a flat and hardened ground is sufficient for operation. The load is distributed through the tires, and the ground pressure requirement is moderate, making it suitable for temporary storage yards or rental projects.
5. Low maintenance cost: The structure is relatively simple, and the tire system and electrical system are easy to maintain. The modular design facilitates the replacement of key components, reducing downtime.
Rubber Tired Gantry Crane vs. Gantry Crane: What Is The Difference?
Rubber tyre gantry cranes are a specialized type of gantry crane, and they differ from
gantry cranes in structure and application. The following are the main differences:
1. Different walking methods
Rubber tyre gantry cranes: They use rubber tyres as the walking mechanism, do not require the laying of tracks, can freely move to different sites, turn 90 degrees, and even move diagonally, with high flexibility.
Gantry cranes: They rely on ground tracks to operate, have a limited movement range, and require the disassembly and reinstallation of tracks or overall relocation when moving to a new site.
2. Different power systems
Rubber-tired gantry cranes: They are often equipped with diesel generator sets or hybrid/electric systems, providing self-sufficient power for driving.
Gantry cranes: They are usually powered by external power grids, which offer lower energy costs but depend on a fixed power source.
3. Different application scenarios
Rubber-tired gantry cranes: They are suitable for locations such as port storage yards and logistics centers, where the operating positions need to be adjusted frequently, and they support straddle carrier-style operations.
Gantry cranes: They are mostly used in fixed container terminals, railway freight yards, and other long-term stable operation points, emphasizing high reliability and automation.
