This robust gantry crane operates on fixed rails, providing exceptional stability and precise positioning for stacking containers, loading and unloading trains and trucks, and organizing yard storage with maximum space utilization.
Key Features & Technological Advantages
1. Robust Structural Design
- Optimized Box Girder Construction: The main girder and leg structures are fabricated from high-strength, low-alloy steel using advanced finite element analysis (FEA). This ensures superior structural integrity, minimal deformation under full load, and an extended service life, even in the harshest environments.
- Dual-Girder Configuration: Standard dual-girder design provides unmatched lifting stability and higher crane hook height, essential for handling containers in multiple stacked rows.
2. High-Precision Hoisting System
- Powerful and Efficient Lifting: Equipped with high-torque hoisting motors, precision gearboxes, and fail-safe disc brakes. The system ensures smooth, responsive, and reliable lifting and lowering operations with pinpoint accuracy.
- Spreader Options: Compatible with a variety of spreaders, including 20ft, 40ft, 45ft telescopic models, and optional rotator spreaders for handling both standard and special containers.
3. Smooth and Reliable Travel System
- Rail Travel (Gantry Motion): The crane travels on heavy-duty steel rails via driven bogies on each leg. The system is synchronously controlled to prevent skewing and ensure straight, smooth travel across the entire yard.
- Trolley Traverse: The trolley moves seamlessly along the main girder on hardened steel rails, allowing for precise cross-positioning of containers. Anti-sway technology is integrated for safe and efficient load transfer.
4. Advanced Control & Automation (Optional)
- Ergonomic Operator Cabin: A fully equipped, climate-controlled cabin offers excellent visibility, reduced noise levels, and intuitive controls, significantly enhancing operator comfort and productivity.
- Intelligent Control System: Featuring variable frequency drive (VFD) control for all motions, ensuring soft starts and stops, precise speed regulation, and substantial energy savings.
- Automation Ready: Weihua RTGs can be equipped with state-of-the-art automation packages, including:
- Automatic Stacking: For unmanned container storage and retrieval.
- Position Detection System: Uses lasers and GPS/RFID to identify container locations accurately.
- Remote Control: Allows operators to control the crane from a remote station.
- Collision Avoidance Systems: Enhances safety for both equipment and personnel.
5. Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
- Regenerative Drives: The VFD system can feed energy generated during lowering and braking back into the power grid, drastically reducing overall energy consumption.
- Eco-Friendly Options: Electric power supply is standard, eliminating on-site emissions. This makes it the ideal solution for environmentally sensitive areas and indoor terminals.
6. Safety & Reliability
- Comprehensive Protection: Equipped with overload limiters, height limiters, travel limit switches, anti-wind devices, and emergency stop systems.
- Robust Construction: All critical components, from wire ropes to electrical systems, are selected from internationally renowned brands (e.g., Siemens, Schneider, ABB, SEW) to guarantee maximum uptime and reliability.
