Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane for Flexible Yard and Heavy-Duty Material Handling

Publish Date:2026-02-13 17:05:51Source: This website
Product Introduction:

High-performance Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane designed for flexible yard operations and heavy-duty lifting. Ideal for logistics yards, container handling, and industrial material transfer.

Equipment Overview and Purpose

The Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane (RTG Crane) is a widely used lifting and stacking solution designed for efficient material handling in outdoor yards and large-scale logistics areas. Unlike rail-mounted gantry cranes, RTG cranes operate on rubber tires, enabling free movement across multiple lanes and work zones without fixed tracks. This design significantly improves layout flexibility and site utilization.

RTG cranes are primarily used for lifting, stacking, and transferring heavy loads such as containers, steel structures, prefabricated components, and oversized industrial materials. With strong load capacity and stable gantry structure, the equipment supports continuous, high-frequency operations in demanding environments.

Applicability and Working Conditions

Rubber-Tired Gantry Cranes are suitable for:

  • Open storage yards with changing layouts

  • Facilities requiring frequent equipment relocation

  • Operations where rail installation is impractical or cost-prohibitive

  • Medium to heavy-duty lifting tasks with high positioning accuracy

The crane performs reliably in outdoor environments, including high-temperature, dusty, or humid conditions, and supports long-duty cycles with stable performance.

Solving Practical Production Challenges

In real production and logistics scenarios, enterprises often face challenges such as:

  • Inefficient yard space utilization

  • Limited flexibility caused by fixed rail systems

  • High labor dependency and low handling efficiency

  • Safety risks during heavy load lifting and stacking

The Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane effectively addresses these issues by:

  • Allowing flexible movement across multiple work lanes

  • Supporting precise load positioning with advanced control systems

  • Reducing reliance on manual handling through semi-automated or automated operation

  • Enhancing operational safety with load monitoring, anti-sway, and overload protection systems

As a result, overall yard efficiency, throughput, and operational safety are significantly improved.

Industry Application Scope

Rubber-Tired Gantry Cranes are widely applied in:

  • Container yards and logistics terminals

  • Steel and metal fabrication plants

  • Precast concrete and construction material yards

  • Heavy equipment manufacturing facilities

  • Large warehouses and outdoor storage centers

Their versatility makes them suitable for both logistics-focused operations and industrial production environments.
