Rail Mounted gantry crane Introduction

Rail mounted container gantry cranes also called RMG cranes are a type of heavy duty gantry crane, travelling on fixed track, which is typically used to load and unload heavy items on rail transport yard, big container storage, docks, container yards and rail freight stations, transport and handling international ISO standard containers. The lifting capacity of rail mounted container gantry crane is 26 – 65 tons and the working class is A6. The general specifications are as following:

Product Type RMG
Lifting Capacity 25~65t
Span Length  15~35m
Working Class A6, A7
Ambient Temperature -25~40℃

Components of Rail Mounted Container Gantry Crane

Rail mounted container gantry crane (RMG) generally includes the following units, steel frame, hoisting mechanism, minimum slewing mechanism, spreader anti-shaking mechanism, crane travel mechanism, trolley traverse mechanism, container spreader, electrical equipment and other accessory equipment for safety, Inverter, PLC and CMMS, etc.

  • Box Girder Construction: High-strength steel beams for rigidity and load distribution.
  • Rail System: Precisely aligned tracks with anti-derailment guards and wear-resistant rails.
  • Trolley & Hoist: Dual-motor hoists with anti-sway technology; regenerative braking for energy recovery.
