What is RMG Crane? Application and Parts All Available

RMG Crane, also known as rail mounted gantry crane or a rail mounted container gantry crane, is a heavy-duty lifting device that runs on rails. User control it is mainly used in container yards, railway freight yards, port terminals, and large logistics centers to handle the loading, unloading, handling, and stacking of containers or large cargo. Next, this article will delve into the definition, price, and parts of the RMG gantry crane to help you better understand the rail mounted gantry crane.

 

What is an RMG Crane?

The RMG crane full form is rail mounted gantry crane, it applicable to remove, load, and unload international standard containers. The main beam is the core structure that bears the weight of the container. It is usually a box-shaped section to ensure strength. Its outriggers connect to both ends of the main beam. Thus, it could support the entire RMG rail mounted gantry crane and allow it to move along tracks on the ground. Crane manufacturers equip RMG rail gantry Crane with PLC control systems, intelligent sensors, and automated management systems to achieve automated operation and significantly improve the efficiency and safety of container yards.

 

What is an RMG Crane Used for?

Users widely apply it in ports, railways, and logistics. The following is an introduction to its main application scenarios.

  • Container Yard: Users operate RMG rail gantry cranes in port or inland container yards to load, unload, or stack containers.
  • Railway Freight Yard: Used by users to load and unload containers on railway freight cars, supporting multi-track crossing operations.
  • Inland Ports and Logistics Centers: Users operate the rail-mounted gantry crane to transfer and distribute containers in large logistics parks.
  • Manufacturing Warehouse Area: Operators control RMG rail gantry cranes to move large modules or metal structural components.
  • Power Equipment Site: Used by users for lifting large equipment such as transformers and generators.
  • Shipyard: Customers use it to lift large hull modules or assemblies.
  • Construction Site: Used by users to lift heavy components in large infrastructure projects.

 

Components of RMG rail gantry Crane

The RMG rail gantry crane mainly consists of a main beam, end beams, crane traveling mechanism, trolley, container clamps, ground beam, hoisting mechanism, Legs, electrical control system, power supply system, driver's cab, and safety monitoring devices. The following will introduce the RMG rail-mounted gantry Crane components.

Components-of-RMG-Crane

  • Main Beam: The entire equipment main load-bearing structure, supporting the lifting mechanism and the trolley running track.
  • End Beam: Installed at both ends of the main beam and connected to the support legs.
  • Legs: connect the main beam and the ground beam, support the main beam, and transfer the load to the ground, forming a door frame structure.
  • Ground Beam: It is located between the bottom of the two legs and is equipped with a crane travelling system.
  • Travelling Mechanism: It consists of components such as a drive motor, a reducer, and a wheel set.
  • Trolley: It is mounted on the main beam and can move laterally along the main beam to carry out hoisting operations.
  • Lifting Mechanism: The lifting equipment consists of a winch, wire rope, hook, and Container spreader. It enables the goods to move up and down.
  • Electrical Control System: Including electrical control cabinet, control panel and PLC system.
  • Power Supply System: It uses sliding contact lines, cable reels, etc., to provide power to the whole machine and the trolley.
  • Crane Control Room: Operators to monitor and manually control crane operation.
  • Gantry Crane Safety Devices: mainly include limit switches, anti-collision devices, anemometers, rail clamps, emergency braking systems, and overload protection devices.
