RMG Rail Mounted VS RTG Rubber Tyred Container Gantry Cranes:4 Key Differences for Efficient Yard Operations

Image
Currently, the commonly used lifting equipment for yard operations at container terminals in major ports worldwide includes Rubber Tyred Container Gantry Cranes (RTG) and Rail Mounted Container Gantry Cranes (RMG) . These cranes are employed in port terminals, rail yards, road transfer stations and logistics parks for container loading, unloading, transfer, and stacking operations. Both RTGs and RMGs are easy-to-operate devices. Although these two types of cranes have similar functions, they differ in various aspects such as technical performance, loading and unloading performance, mobility performance, economic performance and automation performance. Application Comparison Rubber Tyred Container Gantry Cranes RTGs were developed in the 1980s and are still widely used today in container yards at docks, roads, and railway freight stations. After trailers transport containers to the yard, RTGs move laterally and longitudinally within the yard to complete loading, unloading, and stacking ...

5 Critical Safety Protection Devices For Ladle Cranes: Enhancing Safety And Reliability In Steelmaking

Image
A ladle crane is a critical piece of equipment in the continuous steel casting and rolling process, specifically used for hoisting molten metal. If a major accident occurs, it can lead to severe consequences, including casualties and equipment damage. The safety protection devices of the crane are essential equipment to ensure its inherent safety, acting as an important barrier to prevent operator errors and to safeguard both personnel and machinery.  Whether the safety protection devices are intact and complete, whether maintenance and management are timely and effective, and whether they function sensitively and reliably play a significant role in the normal operation of the crane. These devices are indispensable components of the crane. Due to the specific nature of casting cranes handling hot molten metal, their safety requirements differ from those of ordinary cranes. Load-Limiting Devices The purpose of the overload protection device is to prevent the crane from overloading, ...
