Energy and Data Transmission Systems for Container Handling Equipment

Especially in ports and terminals that move containers, everything needs to be reliable when operating 24/7/365.

Energy and Data transmission systems play a very crucial role in these operations and they receive special attention by the operators, as well as by the equipment manufacturers and consulting engineers.

Since the introduction of containers as the standardized method for transporting cargo, Conductix-Wampfler has provided engineered solutions that enable the container handling equipment to operate safely and reliably.

Since the first use of containers in 1954, there have been dramatic developments in handling equipment and facilities. The enormous number of containers handled by some of the world’s largest container terminals today were unthinkable only a few years ago.

Conductix-Wampfler has always been in very close contact with the industry to develop and to optimize the range of products for this vital industry.

Today’s modern container ports and terminals are focused on speed and reliability. Automated container handling equipment is gaining more attention and fast becoming the main concern for many terminal operators.

Large ports and container terminals also have a significant environmental impact, which has driven a shift to more environmentally friendly equipment in the last several years.

With the development of eco-friendly solutions like E-Shore, E-RTG and E-Mobility, Conductix-Wampfler is one of the key innovators and most trusted partners in deploying ecological technologies into the container handling industry.

E-RTG | Electrification of Rubber-Tired Gantries

RTGs will remain the primary machines for moving containers in terminal yards worldwide.

RTGs represent more than 50% of the total fuel consumption at a typical port.

Conventional rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs) are equipped with diesel gensets that transform diesel fuel into electrical energy. This energy powers the electric motors that are necessary for the movement and positioning of containers in the port.

Electrification of the RTG

Converting a conventional RTG into a fully electric RTG (E-RTGTM) means shutting down the diesel genset and powering the RTG with electric power directly from the power grid. The E-RTGTM conversion can be accomplished with one of two different unique electric power supply systems developed by Conductix-Wampfler: Motor Driven Cable Reel System or Conductor Rail System.

E-RTGTM : A Crucial Contribution to Fuel Savings and Clean Ports!

Low energy costs and minimal environmental impact are key concerns of modern port logistics. With the consumption of many liters of diesel fuel per day and rising diesel fuel prices, powering of RTGs represents a substantial cost factor for port operators.

The conversion of diesel to electric powered RTGs results in a reduction in diesel fuel consumption of about 95%. The remaining diesel engines are only used to transfer the RTG from one container lane to another or from the container lane to the maintenance area. During normal operation they remain switched off, which drastically reduces the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2 or NOx into the port environment.

Conductix-Wampfler’s core competency is in the development, production, consulting, and installation of tailor made, engineered solutions that provide energy supply and data transmission for our customers‘ moving machinery.

If you seek a turnkey solution to add the “E“ to your RTG, look no further than Conductix-Wampfler – we have the answers!

LASSTEC Container Weighing & Operational Safety System

The Twistlock Load Sensing & Operational Safety System is designed to measure the load in each twistlock of single- and twinlift spreaders. (For tandem lift, one system per spreader is used).

Each sensor measures the load of a twistlock which is then sent into a central data processing unit from where the information is sent to the crane PLC and to the TOS.

The system also provides various signals to improve operational safety and it allows the monitoring of twistlock and spreader life cycles.

Gearboxes and Gear Motors

The main gearbox is available in three sizes:

• HD10 | 2.000 Nm
• HD20 | 4.000 Nm
• HD30 | 6.000 Nm

It is powered by a gear motor of configurable power and gear ratio, predefined according to installation parameters.

We offer a very large range of 20 gear ratios from 1:26 to 1:295 and 10 motor sizes from 3 kW to 30 kW for precise adjustment of power and torque to the application.
