RTG System

RTGs are generally used with terminal tractors. The quay crane place the container on a trailer, which is towed by a terminal tractor to the RTG stacker crane. Alternatively, the RTG loads export containers onto a trailer, which is towed under the ship-to-shore crane. This is the fastest and most economical way of transporting long distances within the terminal.

Large storage capacity
The RTG system allows higher and wider stacks than other systems. No separate interchange area is required.

Availability and reliability
Modern RTGs offer good availability thanks to the minimum need of maintenance. High classification of structures and mechanisms ensure reliable operation.

Speed
The terminal tractor is a fast and economical way of transporting containers within the terminal.

Automation options
Linear movements (hoisting/lowering, trolley and gantry steering) are easy to automate. Unobstructed visibility to the sky allows satellite navigation.
