Rail Mounted Gantry Crane: High-Precision Lifting for Yards and Ports
A rail mounted gantry crane (RMG crane) is a type of heavy-duty lifting equipment widely used in container yards, steel stockyards, shipbuilding plants, and hydropower stations. Designed to run on fixed rails, these cranes offer exceptional lifting capacity, stability, and travel distance.
Nybon Machinery provides custom-built RMG cranes to meet your yard’s exact operational requirements.
What Is a Rail Mounted Gantry Crane?
A rail mounted gantry crane is a type of gantry crane that travels on ground-mounted steel rails. The system typically includes:
-
Two rigid legs connected to a double girder bridge
-
A trolley hoist that moves along the bridge
-
Rails embedded in concrete foundations
-
Electric drive systems for lifting and travel
-
Optional operator cabin or remote control
This setup is engineered for long-span, high-precision material handling in fixed work zones.
Key Advantages of Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes
1. High Stability and Accuracy
Because the crane is mounted on tracks, it offers excellent linear travel precision and can handle large loads without sway, making it ideal for delicate or high-value cargo.
2. Long Travel Distance
RMG cranes can travel along hundreds of meters of rail, ideal for large industrial yards, shipyards, or container terminals.
3. Energy-Efficient Operation
Compared to rubber-tyred cranes, rail-mounted systems are more energy-efficient, particularly when powered by busbar or cable festoon systems.
4. High Customization Potential
You can configure:
-
Load capacity (up to 200 tons)
-
Crane span (up to 60 meters)
-
Hoist speed and lifting height
-
Cabin type, automation, anti-collision, and safety features
Typical Applications of RMG Cranes
| Application Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Container Terminals | Stack, load, and unload containers |
| Steel Yards | Handle coils, plates, and long beams |
| Shipyards | Move blocks, engines, or hull sections |
| Hydropower Plants | Lift turbines, gates, and equipment |
| Construction Yards | Reposition precast concrete elements |
