What is a Rubber-tyred Gantry Crane?
The rubber-tired gantry crane is simply a “self-driving” gantry crane. It operates without fixed tracks while it moves through the use of rubber tires. It can be parked in any storage area; its layout can be modified at any moment. The equipment has become a preferred choice for port storage yards, logistics parks, and heavy industry storage yards because of this capability.
DINGYA is a manufacturer of RTG cranes with over 20 years of rich production experience. Every equipment component goes through comprehensive quality assurance testing, and the equipment has received multiple certifications from international standards organizations, including ISO and CE.

Products By Types
Diesel RTGs provide direct operational solutions that can be deployed anywhere because they function immediately after installation in any storage yard across the globe.
The port or park needs to use electric RTGs as its primary option because they can achieve sustainable development through green and low-carbon initiatives.
The hybrid RTG provides an efficient transitional solution that achieves energy savings between 30% and 50%. The system offers low upgrade expenses.
It establishes direct integration with your TOS dispatching system, which enables your smart port and unmanned storage yard operations to run without requiring human intervention.
The energy recovery efficiency and response speed of super capacitor RTGs exceed the performance of traditional systems in container yards, which experience high throughputs.
Features of Rubber-tyred Gantry Crane
For the same-sized storage yard, using RTG cranes can enable you to store more goods. You can expand your storage capacity because it doesn’t need extra land space.
If you’re not ready for fully automated operation yet, that’s fine. You can start with the manual version first. Our RTG system provides a seamless automatic upgrade process.
Our facilities maintain protective systems that handle high-temperature and dust environmental challenges.
Through its high-precision positioning system, which enables rapid container alignment. It decreases the time drivers require to make multiple adjustments.
All instructions can be executed from the ground remote control console. The work environment provides better comfort and increases operational safety.
The integration system dispatches scheduling instructions automatically while it controls the entire yard operation with shared resources of personnel, machinery, and goods.
Our electric and hybrid RTG cranes meet the requirements for carbon emissions and green certification standards. They are both environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.
The RTG cranes of DINGYA provide multiple span options and different lifting height settings, which enable you to match their equipment needs with your actual facility designs.
Flexible and Adaptable
The greatest advantage of rubber-tired gantry cranes is their ability to move flexibly. The rubber tires operate on ground surfaces without requiring fixed path installation because they can move freely.
You can drive the RTG directly to your new storage space during business expansion without needing to build any new infrastructure. The flexible equipment system allows your business operations to grow while your site continues to expand, which provides your operation with better equipment mobility than traditional setups.
Applications of Rubber-tyred Gantry Crane
The RTG crane operates with high efficiency for stacking operations and maintains scheduling flexibility while working together with automated systems. It is the most direct equipment choice for ports to increase throughput and reduce operating costs.
The railway freight stations experience major fluctuations in cargo volume because their operational layouts have to be changed often. RTG operates without using permanent track systems. It gains operational flexibility.
The main challenge that logistics parks face arises from their expanding operations, which exceed their current available land. The system lets you increase your gantry crane capacity according to your business needs without needing building work.
Steel coils and plates and large components create challenges for outdoor storage because they have both heavy weight and large dimensions. The large-span and high-capacity characteristics of the RTG crane precisely solve this problem.
The wind power, photovoltaic, and large-scale equipment industries are expanding at a rapid rate, while their storage facility requirements experience continuous changes. The construction schedule of your project can be supported by RTG crane equipment.
The RTG operates through an electric motor, which powers its movement, while its rubber tires provide traction. It achieves its three operational tasks, which include grasping, transporting, and stacking of containers through three different actions, which involve large vehicle movement and small vehicle movement, and lifting mechanism operation.
The complete operation receives control from an advanced intelligent system while the driver sends commands through the operation console, which the system executes exactly.
The standard lifting capacity of common RTG cranes ranges between 30 tons and 65 tons which enables them to perform different operational tasks that include single-box and double-box movement.
The specific tonnage to choose depends on whether your storage yard mainly handles 20-foot containers or 40-foot containers, and whether you need to lift fully-loaded containers. We will provide you with precise recommendations based on your actual operation scenarios and will not ask you to spend extra money for tonnage that you won’t use.
The cost of RTG equipment differs because of three main factors, which are power type, tonnage, and automation level. The diesel model has a relatively lower entry threshold, while the electric and automated models require a higher initial investment.
We suggest that you consider not only the purchase price. Please take into account the energy consumption, maintenance, and labor costs over a period of three to five years.
The answer to the cost-effectiveness may vary. You can reach out to us for your personalized price estimate.
The most fundamental difference lies in the “running on tires” and “running on tracks”. The RTG crane can operate in any area according to their needs. It operates effectively in storage yards that require changing their space requirements to accommodate different needs.
The RMG crane needs fixed track installation, which enables precise movement control through automated systems that function in established storage zones that require maximum operational efficiency. The RTG system provides flexible operation for users, but the RMG system delivers max.
Yes, and the savings are considerable. The electric RTG system uses energy recovery technology to transform potential energy from crane descents into reusable electrical power. The system consumes 40% to 60% less energy compared to the diesel model.
The operational cost savings during the entire year become substantial when your yard operation frequency reaches high levels. The electric RTG system serves as the main option for customers who want to lower both their expenses and their environmental impact.
Under normal circumstances, the designed service life of an RTG is around 20 years. The actual service life of equipment depends on how well it receives daily maintenance because well-maintained equipment lasts 25 years without problems, while poorly maintained equipment starts to fail after 10 years.
We provide a total maintenance solution that covers the entire equipment lifespan to help you achieve maximum equipment value instead of needing to dispose of it early.
Our RTG operation includes standard safety features that provide multiple protective functions through its overload protection system, collision prevention system, wind speed monitoring system with warning capability, emergency braking system, travel limit control system, and real-time video surveillance system.
The system will automatically respond to any abnormal situation that arises by eliminating all potential accident risks before they can happen.
The daily inspection and monthly inspection and annual inspection system requires testing of critical parts and tires and steel wires and brakes with regular testing and complete electrical system and structural inspection. The DINGYA company provides both factory maintenance services and remote diagnostic capabilities.
The system will also detect equipment malfunctions through abnormal signal detection, which allows you to resolve problems before they escalate into major system failures.
