RTG Cranes

An RTG crane stands for a Rubber-Tyred Gantry Crane, which is a large mobile machine used to stack and move shipping containers in ports and freight yards 

Key Features  

Rubber Tires: Unlike normal cranes that run on fixed steel rails, an RTG crane moves on large rubber wheels. This allows it to steer and drive freely across paved yards.

Gantry Structure: It has a tall, bridge-like steel frame that straddles multiple lanes of traffic and container stacks.

Lifting Power: It uses a specialized overhead tool called a spreader to lift heavy metal cargo boxes (often weighing 35 to 70 tons)

Common Uses

Container Terminals: Stacking inbound and outbound shipping containers so they can be loaded onto trucks or ships.

Rail Yards: Moving freight between trains and storage areas.

Inland Depots: Organizing and storing cargo containers away from coastal ports.
