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.
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.
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.
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.
