What is a gantry crane?
A gantry crane is a highly versatile and essential piece of heavy - lifting equipment. It is constructed on top of a gantry structure, which allows it to straddle over objects or workspaces.
In ports, different types of gantry cranes play crucial roles.
1. Rubber - tired gantry (RTG) cranes are commonly seen. They are mobile and can move around the port yard on rubber tires, making them suitable for container handling in areas with less fixed infrastructure.
2. Rail - mounted gantry (RMG) cranes, on the other hand, run on rails, providing stable and efficient container lifting and transportation along the designated rail tracks.
These marine cranes vary significantly in size and capacity. Enormous "full" gantry cranes are among the most powerful lifting machines globally, capable of handling extremely heavy loads. In contrast, smaller shop - type gantry cranes are used for more routine and smaller - scale lifting tasks, such as removing automobile engines from vehicles.
