An RMG (Rail Mounted Gantry) crane is a specialized, high-efficiency container handling crane used primarily in intermodal ports and large rail terminals. Unlike rubber-tired gantries, the RMG crane runs on steel wheels along a fixed set of tracks embedded in the ground, allowing for highly accurate positioning and faster travel speeds over long distances. The RMG straddles multiple rows of rail tracks, enabling it to lift 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft containers directly from a train and stack them in the yard or load them onto trucks. These cranes are built for stability and precision, with features like anti-sway systems and automated stacking software. They are often fully automated, operating without an onboard operator to maximize yard density and throughput. The steel structure includes a main beam, outriggers, and a traveling cart equipped with a motor and reducer for accurate positioning.
