Rail Mounted Gantry Crane for Efficient Container and Yard Handling

Rail mounted container gantry crane is suitable for container yards or transfer stations in ports, docks, railways, logistics centers, coastal freight yards, and other areas for handling and loading/unloading international standard containers and railway-wide containers. The RMG container crane possesses various features such as high efficiency, ease of use, and convenient maintenance and servicing.

The design parameters of a rail-mounted container gantry crane (RMG) are the basis of its performance. These parameters determine the crane’s operating capacity and scope of application. The following is an overview of the key design parameters:

-Lifting capacity: The lifting capacity of a crane is one of its most important performance indicators. It determines the maximum weight of a container that the crane can lift. The types of containers commonly used in ports and their weights should be considered during design to ensure that the crane can meet actual operating requirements.

-Lifting height: The lifting height determines the maximum height at which the crane can stack containers. This needs to be determined based on the actual conditions and storage requirements of the container yard to accommodate different types of yards and operating requirements.

-Span: The span refers to the distance between the crane tracks, which determines the crane’s operating range. The width of the yard and the arrangement of containers should be considered during design to ensure that the crane can cover the entire operating area.

-Outreach: The outreach refers to the effective reach of the crane’s cantilever, which determines the crane’s ability to operate at the edge of the yard. For cranes that need to handle containers at the edge of the yard, outreach is an important design parameter.

-Working speed: The working speed includes the lifting speed, trolley running speed, and trolley running speed. These speed parameters determine the operating efficiency of the crane. The actual operating requirements must be taken into consideration during the design to ensure that the crane can complete the lifting and stacking of containers within the specified time.

The design of this heavy duty container gantry crane (RMG) has achieved a series of important design results by comprehensively considering the actual needs of port transportation and the efficiency, stability, and environmental protection of crane operations.

First, we determined the key design parameters of the crane, including lifting weight, lifting height, span, outreach, and working speed, which were reasonably set according to the actual operation needs of the port and the performance requirements of the crane.

Secondly, in the design of key components such as the main beam, end beam, rigid outrigger and flexible outrigger, lower end beam and upper saddle, we fully considered the strength, rigidity, stability, and connection methods of the materials to ensure the overall stability and operation efficiency of the crane.

Especially in the outrigger design, we adopted a combination of rigid outriggers and flexible outriggers, which not only ensured the stability of the crane, but also improved its flexibility, enabling it to better adapt to different operating environments and needs.
