Konecranes

The Konecranes Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) crane is a great example of our ability to be smarter where it matters in the design of container handling equipment. Hydraulics-free high performance Konecranes RTGs are entirely hydraulics-free for gantry wheel turning, sway prevention and spreader micro-motions. In harsh marine conditions, this is a big advantage offering higher reliability and less downtime. Innovations come as standard Our RTG cranes comply with traditional RTG performance specifications. They also offer, as standard, several innovative technologies that significantly increase performance and reliability while decreasing maintenance costs. Our 16-wheel RTG comes with Active Load Control, an integrated sway prevention and horizontal fine positioning system. ALC allows optimum cycle times to be reached in all operating conditions – even with an inexperienced driver. Smoothing the bumps What’s the value of an RTG’s ability to handle variations in a yard surface? How much is it worth to reduce yard reinforcement costs? Some RTGs can handle only a 5 cm variation in yard surfaces. A Konecranes RTG, thanks to its smart steel structure, can handle up to 15 cm.
