Product Description
A Rail-Mounted Gantry (RMG) crane is a heavy-duty container handling system permanently installed on fixed ground rails within port terminals, intermodal yards, or logistics hubs, designed for high-volume, precision stacking and transfer of shipping containers. Characterized by its elevated gantry framework spanning multiple rail tracks and container stacks, the RMG operates exclusively along predetermined paths with electrically powered travel mechanisms, enabling it to straddle wide storage blocks-typically covering 6 to 8 container rows plus rail corridors-while lifting containers up to 40-50 tonnes to heights of 1-over-6 tiers. Powered primarily by grid electricity through conductor bars or cable reels, RMGs excel in energy efficiency and low emissions, offering enhanced stability, precise positioning via laser guidance systems, and seamless integration with automated terminal operating systems (TOS) for unmanned operations. Their rail confinement ensures maximum stacking density with minimal ground footprint, optimizing yard space for high-throughput facilities where operational consistency outweighs the need for mobility-making RMGs the backbone of modern, large-scale automated terminals that prioritize sustainability and 24/7 reliability over the flexible repositioning capabilities of rubber-tired counterparts like RTGs.
Application Scenarios
High-Density Container Stacking - Vertically stacks containers up to 1-over-7 tiers (8+ rows wide) in compact terminal blocks.
Intermodal Rail Operations - Directly loads/unloads containers between railcars and yard stacks with precision.
Automated Terminal Handling - Serves as primary workhorses in unmanned terminals, synchronized with AGVs and ASCs.
Buffer Zone Management - Temporarily stores inbound/outbound containers near quay cranes for rapid vessel turnaround.
Cross-Yard Transfers - Relocates containers between storage blocks via pre-programmed rail paths.
Empty Container Depots - Efficiently organizes empty containers in dedicated, space-optimized stacks.

Our Advantages
1:Unmatched Stability
Fixed rail system eliminates sway, enabling ultra-precise container handling even at full height (1-over-7 tiers).
2:Maximized Yard Density
Covers 8+ container rows with minimal aisle space, achieving 30% higher storage capacity than RTG layouts.
3:24/7 Automation
Laser-guided positioning and AI integration allow fully unmanned operation in lights-out terminals.
4:Ultra-Low Maintenance
No tires/engines to replace; rail alignment ensures even wear for 100,000+ operating hours.
5:Storm-Proof Reliability
Steel-on-rail traction maintains operation in 25 m/s winds where RTGs must shutdown.
Packaging & Shipping
To ensure safe and damage-free transportation, cranes must be securely packaged in heavy-duty wooden crates or steel frames, with critical components like hoists and girders disassembled if oversized and properly strapped. Electrical systems and sensitive parts should be wrapped in waterproof, anti-corrosion materials, while all packages must be clearly labeled with weight, center of gravity, and lifting points. During transit, components must be firmly fastened using chains or straps to prevent shifting, with special attention given to corrosion protection for sea freight and route planning for oversized shipments. These measures guarantee that cranes arrive in optimal condition for assembly and operation.
