Container Gantry Crane | RTG & RMG Crane Manufacturer for Ports
A container gantry crane is a heavy-duty lifting system designed for stacking, loading, unloading, and moving intermodal containers in ports, rail terminals, and inland container depots. It includes Rubber-Tired Gantry Cranes (RTG) for flexible yard operations and Rail-Mounted Gantry Cranes (RMG) for high-density, automated stacking in fixed layouts. These cranes handle ISO standard containers (20ft, 40ft, 45ft) as well as heavy-duty and high-cube containers, enabling efficient yard management, truck/train interfacing, and seamless integration with terminal operating systems (TOS).
