A Container Gantry Crane, also known as a container handling gantry crane or port gantry crane, is a large-scale lifting equipment designed specifically for loading, unloading, and stacking standard shipping containers. It is widely used in container yards, railway freight stations, inland ports, and large logistics centers. The crane operates on fixed rails, moving horizontally along the length of the container yard while the trolley travels across the bridge girder to position the spreader precisely over containers.
SEVENCRANE container gantry cranes are engineered for high efficiency, heavy-duty operation, and long service life. The structure consists of rigid steel gantry legs, a main girder bridge, trolley with a container spreader, and rail-mounted end carriages. Powered by an advanced electrical system and automated control options, they enable fast and precise container handling while reducing operator fatigue.
We offer two main types of container gantry cranes:
Rail-Mounted Gantry Crane (RMG) – Ideal for large container yards, providing wide span, high stacking capability, and heavy lifting capacity.
Rubber-Tyred Gantry Crane (RTG) – Equipped with wheels for flexible movement, suitable for medium-sized yards and operations requiring frequent relocation.
With customized lifting capacities ranging from 30 to 65 tons and spans from 20 to 40 meters, SEVENCRANE container gantry cranes can be tailored to meet the operational needs of ports, intermodal terminals, and large logistics hubs.
♦High Lifting Capacity & Wide Span
Our container gantry cranes can handle single or double container lifting, with capacities of 30t, 40.5t, 45t, and up to 65t. The span can be customized to cover multiple container rows, maximizing yard space utilization.
♦Precision Container Handling
Equipped with advanced spreader positioning systems and anti-sway control, the crane ensures precise container alignment, reducing loading/unloading time and improving safety.
♦Sturdy Structural Design
The gantry structure is made from high-strength low-alloy steel, ensuring durability in harsh port environments. The rigid frame resists torsion and vibration, maintaining stability under heavy loads.
♦Smooth & Efficient Operation
Our cranes use variable frequency drives (VFD) for smooth acceleration, deceleration, and precise speed control. This reduces mechanical stress and improves operational comfort.
♦Intelligent Control & Automation
We provide options for semi-automatic or fully automatic operation, including features like remote monitoring, automatic spreader alignment, and container tracking integration with yard management systems.
♦ Safety & Reliability
SEVENCRANE container gantry cranes are equipped with overload protection, windproof devices, emergency stop systems, and anti-collision sensors to ensure safe operation in all weather conditions.
♦Energy Efficiency & Low Maintenance
With optimized structural weight, regenerative braking systems, and energy-saving motors, our cranes reduce power consumption. The modular design makes inspection and maintenance more convenient.
Applications
Port container terminals – Loading and unloading vessels efficiently to keep cargo flow on schedule.
♦Railway container yards – Transferring containers between trains and storage areas for intermodal logistics.
♦Inland container depots – Stacking and organizing containers for temporary storage and dispatch.
♦Logistics hubs and freight stations – Managing large volumes of containerized cargo.
Customization Options
At SEVENCRANE, we recognize that every terminal or yard has different operational requirements. Our engineering team works closely with customers to design tailored container gantry cranes, including:
♦Span and Height – Customized to fit container row arrangements and stacking height requirements.
♦Lifting Capacity – Single lift, twin lift, or tandem lift configurations available.
♦Spreader Type – Automatic, semi-automatic, or telescopic spreaders for 20ft, 40ft, or 45ft containers.
♦Control Mode – Cab operation, remote control, semi-automatic, or full automation.
♦Power Supply – Cable reel, busbar, or hybrid power systems, depending on site conditions.
♦Environmental Protection – Anti-corrosion coatings, storm anchoring systems, and temperature-resistant components for extreme climates.
