What Can A Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane Do?

The Reach Of A Fixed Crane, The Freedom To Move
A rubber tyred gantry crane, or RTG, is a large gantry crane that runs on rubber tyres rather than fixed rails. It straddles rows of shipping containers in a yard, lifts them with a spreader, and stacks them several high. Because it's on tyres, it can move between stacks and around the terminal under its own power, giving you the reach of a fixed crane with the freedom to go where the work is.
Not The Same Machine, Not The Same Job
These two get confused often enough that it's worth spelling out plainly.
Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane
- Works the container yard, not the wharf
- Stacks and moves containers between rows
- Drives between stacks on its own tyres
Ship-To-Shore Crane
- A fixed wharf crane, not a yard machine
- Loads and unloads vessels directly
- Stays in place, does not travel around the terminal
Built For Volume, Not Just A Single Lift
How Do You Transport A Mobile Gantry Crane?
An RTG is a large machine, so it's moved in major components on heavy haulage floats, then assembled on site, with permits and route planning for the oversize loads. We handle the machine and the entire logistics, so it arrives and is built ready to work.
Should You Hire Or Buy A Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane?
An RTG is a serious investment, so the right answer depends on your container volumes and how long you need it. Because we're not tied to one supplier, we give you the honest call and source the right machine, new or used, at the right price.
