Rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMG cranes) are specialized yard container handling machines.
An RMG travels on rails to lift and stack 20 or 40’ containers in the yard area. The container is lifted by a spreader attached to cables. Rail mounted cranes come in a variety of models with different spans and overhangs.
These cranes are specifically designed for intensive container stacking due to its automation and less need for human handling. Compared to the Rubber Tyred Gantry crane (RTG), the RMG has the advantages of being driven by electrical power, cleaner, bigger lifting capacity, and higher gantry traveling speed with cargo. Rail-Mounted Gantry cranes are particularly effective for rail/road transhipments of large quantities of containers.
