What Are the Advantages of Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes

 Rail mounted gantry cranes,also known as RMG cranes,are essential pieces of equipment used in various industries for efficient material handling. These cranes are commonly found in ports, intermodal terminals, and manufacturing facilities.

Rail travel system: Gantry cranes on rails are equipped with a rail travel system that allows them to move along a set of parallel rails. The rails are typically embedded in the ground or mounted on elevated structures within the terminal area. The rail travel system enables the crane to traverse the length of the container yard or rail terminal efficiently.

Automation and control systems: Many automated rail mounted gantry cranes are equipped with advanced automation and control systems. These systems include features such as GPS positioning, collision avoidance, and remote operation capabilities. Automation enables precise and efficient container handling, improves safety, and optimizes operations in container terminals.

Lifting mechanism: RMG are equipped with a lifting mechanism that consists of a hoist or spreader beam. The hoist or spreader beam is used to lift and move containers vertically. The lifting mechanism often includes features such as telescoping or rotating spreaders to accommodate different container sizes and orientations.

Safety features: Gantry cranes on rails incorporate various safety features to ensure safe operations. These may include anti-sway systems to minimize container swinging during lifting, load monitoring systems, and safety interlocks to prevent collisions or accidents.
