Electrified Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane for Energy-Efficient Yard Operations


The Electrified Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane is designed for yard operations that prioritize energy efficiency, low emissions, and long-term operating cost reduction. By replacing traditional diesel-driven systems with electric or hybrid power solutions, this RTG crane significantly reduces fuel consumption, noise levels, and environmental impact while maintaining high handling performance.
Electrified RTG cranes are especially suitable for facilities aiming to improve sustainability metrics, comply with stricter environmental regulations, or operate in noise-sensitive industrial zones. The electric drive system ensures smooth acceleration, precise speed control, and stable lifting performance under continuous working conditions.
Conventional diesel-powered yard equipment often suffers from high fuel costs, complex maintenance, noise pollution, and inconsistent performance under variable loads. Electrified Rubber-Tired Gantry Cranes solve these issues through:
Reduced Energy Consumption
Electric and hybrid drive systems lower energy usage compared to traditional diesel RTGs.
Lower Maintenance Requirements
Fewer mechanical components result in reduced wear, longer service intervals, and lower lifecycle costs.
Stable and Precise Motion Control
Electric motors provide accurate speed regulation, improving load positioning accuracy and operational safety.
Improved Working Environment
Low-noise and low-emission operation enhances operator comfort and overall site conditions.
Electrified RTG cranes are widely adopted in the following scenarios:
Container yards focusing on low-emission operations
Logistics terminals with energy efficiency targets
Industrial storage yards near urban or indoor environments
Manufacturing logistics centers with sustainability requirements
Automated and semi-automated yard systems
