Rail-mounted gantry crane (RMG) (see Fig 31-1) is a specialized yard container handling machine. It can travel on rail by means of the yard power, and lift and stack containers in the yard area with the equipment of the
The RMG consists of lifting mechanism, trolley traversing mechanism, gantry mechanism and sway-dampening mechanism. The lifting, gantry and trolley mechanisms are mostly equipped with AC frequency conversion control system. Normally the lifting mechanism is of the single drum type. It can also be designed to be double drum type if needed. Table 31-1 shows some technical parameters about RMG.
Rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) are the specialized equipment for loading and unloading standard containers. They are used in both container terminals and specialized container storage yards. Each RTG is powered by an AC diesel generator. It is equipped with digital frequency-converting drives, which enable both longitudinal and transverse movements in the container yard. It is also equipped Trolley travel mechanism can be driven either by rack and pinion, full-wheel drive or two-wheel drive. The move is very smooth. An operator’s cab is installed underneath the trolley, where the operator can drive the crane. RTGs adopt AC or DC drives systems, which is very good in speed control and constant-power control. The hoisting and lowering speeds can be adjusted automatically as per weight of the cargo. For safe operation, RTGs are installed sensors to detect over-load, diesel over-speed, water over-heat and low oil pressure, wind speed, setting of storm tie-down and other sensors for various mechanisms. Emergency stoop push buttons are also installed. Furthermore, optional features like DGPS, ECMS, RCCMS, and elevator can be implemented as option. The customers can also purchase as an option a special crane jack up system, which will expedite the changing of gantry travel direction and reduce the wear and tear of the tires. There are many important technical parameters for RTG such as lifting capacity, span, base distance, lifting height, velocity. Table 31-2 shows the common parameters for RTG. The parameters are only for reference and can be adjusted according to different use. • basic parameters Stack height(containers)1 over 4 1 over 5 1 over 6 • Lift height (m) 15.24 18.1 21 • Rated hoist capacity 40.6-61 40.6-61 40.6-61 • velocity parameter Hoist speeds(m/min) Full load 20-23 23-25 25-35 • No load 40-52 52-60 55-70 • Trolley travel speeds(m/min) 70 70 70 • Gantry travel speeds(m/min) Full load 25-50 25-50 25-50 • No load 100-130 100-130 100-130 |
