How to Prevent Deformation in 100 Ton Gantry Crane Main Structure
Preventing deformation in a 100 ton gantry crane main structure is one of the most critical aspects of ensuring long-term safety, operational stability, and cost efficiency. Because cranes of this capacity are used in heavy industries such as shipbuilding, steel production, precast concrete handling, and large-scale logistics, even minor structural deformation can lead to misalignment, reduced lifting precision, accelerated fatigue, and in severe cases, structural failure.

What Are the Typical Working Conditions for Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes?
Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes are widely used in container terminals, intermodal yards, and industrial storage facilities due to their flexibility, mobility, and relatively lower infrastructure requirements compared to rail-mounted systems. However, their performance, reliability, and lifecycle cost are highly dependent on the working conditions in which they operate. Understanding these conditions is essential for proper equipment selection, engineering design, and long-t

The Pulse of Performance: Decoding Crane Duty Classes from A3 to A8
In the heavy lifting industry, a gantry crane is often defined by its maximum capacity—the bold tonnage figures painted on its girders. However, for a facility manager or an engineer, that number is only a baseline. The true measure of a crane's value lies in its Duty Class . Whether you are following ISO 4301-1 or GB/T 3811 standards, the classification from A3 to A8 represents the machine's "DNA." It determines how many hundreds of thousands of cycles the crane can perfo

The Silent Revolution: The Shift to Electric RTGs in Indoor Industrial Environments
For decades, the heavy-duty industrial landscape was defined by the roar of diesel engines and the distinct smell of exhaust. In massive indoor facilities—from steel pipe warehouses to aerospace assembly plants—the Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) crane has long been the workhorse of choice. However, as we move through 2026, a profound shift is occurring. The traditional diesel-powered RTG is being phased out in favor of the Electric Rubber Tired Gantry (E-RTG) . This transition i
