Different Types of Gantry Mounted Cranes

Gantry mounted cranes are most useful for handling of containers in container yards. A rail mounted gantry crane is moves on the rails to lift and stack the 20 and 40 feet containers with the help of a spreader or a twin lift spreader. The cranes are available in diverse models with different size of overhangs and spans. The gantry-mounted cranes are expressively designed for specific stacking and handling containers in docks as well as other container yards.

RMG cranes have additional benefits as compared RTG cranes. These are powerful driven with electricity, higher haulage capacity clean operation, and higher speed to travel with load. The RMG cranes are most productive for the shipment of containers by road and rail and transfer heavy loads. These applications of the crane require speedy movement in both longitudinally and crossways. Moreover, these cranes have additional feature of automatic self-positioning for their efficient performance.

Examples of gantry mounted cranes:

Terex stacking cranes can handle exhaustive container stacking at local as well as international docks and other points with maximum productivity. Terex RMG cranes boast to haul containers and swap bodies on container terminals for stacking and railways.

Features of RMG:

The main features of gantry-mounted cranes are:

• Anti-sway system
• Approved weighing system incorporated with crane
• System for crane management and data transfer
• A piggyback

Examples of other gantry mounted cranes:

Another type of RMG crane is LPMC whi9ch is especially designed for container yards. It works on electric power available in yard and can lift, move and stack containers using 20 and 40 feet telescopic types of spreaders or with the help of twin-lift spreaders.

Features of LPMC gantry mounted cranes:

LPMC is specially meant for the container handling in yards and is most productive in comparison to RTG crane that is mounted on tires. LPMC is powered with electricity to lift heavier loads at higher speeds. It comprises different mechanisms for lifting, trolley transferring, gantry, and dampening sway. These mechanisms mostly operate with the help of a control system that works on Ac frequency conversion. These machines work smoothly usually employing a single drum for lifting operation. Double drum types of cranes are also used. There are a couple of options available for these cranes and the user can select them according to his requirements: Trolley slewing mechanism permits slewing between -10 and +190. You can use continuous slewing also. Overhauling beam RMG gantry crane can reach beyond rail travel. The other choices are RMG for different rail gauge, with generator power and twin-direction anti-sway mechanism. The quayside container crane, portal cranes, ship loaders, and RTG are the different gantry mounted cranes.
