Rubber tyre gantry cranes

Listing ID #4890096

Gantry cranes are also available running on rubber tyres so that tracks are not needed.

Rubber tyre gantry cranes are essential for moving Steel Coils / Containers from berths throughout the rest of the yard. For this task they come in large sizes, that are used for moving to straddle multiple lanes of rail, road, or container storage. They also are capable of lifting fully loaded containers to great heights. Rubber tyre gantry cranes come in the form of straddle carriers which are used when moving individual containers or vertical stacks of containers.

Portable gantry crane systems, such as rubber tyre gantry cranes, are in high demand in terminals and ports restricted in size and reliant on maximising vertical space and not needing to haul containers long distances. This is due to the relatively slow speed yet high reach of rubber tyre gantry cranes when compared to other forms of container terminal equipment.
