Large Span Rail Mounted Gantry Crane for Heavy Cargo Handling
Introduction
Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes (RMG cranes) are high-efficiency container handling systems designed to run on fixed rails. With their ability to cover large spans and achieve high stacking heights, these cranes are widely applied in container terminals, intermodal rail yards, and large-scale logistics hubs. Their robust structure and advanced automation make them especially suitable for long-distance, repetitive handling operations where precision, speed, and reliability are essential.

Features
♦Structural Design: A rail mounted gantry crane is built with a horizontal bridge girder supported by vertical legs that run on fixed rails. Depending on the configuration, it can be designed as a full gantry, where both legs move along tracks, or as a semi-gantry, where one side runs on a rail and the other is fixed on a runway. High-quality steel or aluminum materials are used to ensure excellent durability and resistance to harsh working environments.
♦Mobility & Configuration: Unlike rubber-tired gantry cranes that rely on wheels, the rail mounted gantry crane operates on fixed rails, offering exceptional precision and stability. It is widely used in container yards, intermodal rail terminals, and large factories where repetitive and heavy-duty lifting tasks are required. Its rigid structure makes it suitable for long-term and high-intensity operations.
♦Load Capacity & Span: The rail mounted gantry crane is engineered to handle a wide range of lifting requirements, from a few tons to several hundred tons, depending on the project’s scale. Spans can also be customized, from compact designs for smaller industrial applications to extra-wide spans exceeding 50 meters for large-scale shipbuilding or container handling.
♦Lifting Mechanism: Equipped with advanced electric hoists, wire rope systems, and reliable trolley mechanisms, the rail mounted gantry crane ensures smooth, efficient, and safe lifting operations. Optional features such as remote controls, cabin operation, or automated positioning systems enhance usability and adaptability for modern logistics and industrial applications.
Advantages of Rail Mounted Gantry Crane
Excellent Stability & Heavy Load Capacity: Rail mounted gantry cranes are designed with a rigid structure that runs along guided tracks. This ensures exceptional stability and the ability to handle heavy loads across large spans, making them highly suitable for demanding and large-scale port or yard operations.
Intelligent Control & Safety Features: Equipped with advanced PLC systems and frequency conversion drives, an RMG crane allows smooth control of all mechanisms, including acceleration, deceleration, and precise synchronization. Integrated safety devices—such as overload protection, limit alarms, anti-wind and anti-slip systems, and visual indicators—guarantee safe and reliable operations for both personnel and equipment.
Space Optimization & High Stacking Efficiency: An RMG crane maximizes yard capacity by enabling high container stacking. Its ability to fully utilize vertical space allows operators to increase storage efficiency and improve yard management.
Low Total Lifecycle Cost: Thanks to a mature structural design, ease of maintenance, and energy-efficient operation, rail mounted gantry cranes provide long service life with minimal operating costs—ideal for high-intensity, long-term use.
Compliant with International Standards: RMG cranes are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with DIN, FEM, IEC, VBG, and AWS standards, as well as the latest national requirements, ensuring globally competitive quality and reliability.
