Market Insights

Rising Focus Toward Green Technology

Market participants focus on green technology due to strict government regulations pertaining to pollution and emission limits across various regions. Also, the use of RTGs equipped with electric drives can be optimized to consume less power. The use of the battery hybrid technology on the cranes will focus to substantially reduce fuel consumption and harmful fossil fuel emissions. Approximately 10% of the diesel fuel emissions from cargo handling equipment at ports are emitted by RTG cranes; the implementation of more efficient RTGs directly lessens the environmental impact of crane operations. This technology is an answer for busy port operators worldwide who need to increase efficiencies while reducing emissions and the environmental impact of their operations, as well as provide additional benefits of reduced operating costs with less greenhouse gas emissions and lower noise levels at the terminal. Flywheel energy storage technology for rubber Tire gantry cranes or RTG that can either be retrofit to existing RTG cranes or included as part of a new build. Flywheels offer fuel and emission reductions by capturing braking energy produced when a container is lowered.

Type-Based Market Insights

Based on type, the global market for rubber-tired gantry cranes can be divided into two segments: 8-wheeler and 16-wheeler. There are two types for each model the 8W and 8WA for the 8-wheeler, and the 16W and 16WA for the 16-wheeler. The main differences between the two models are the design of the anti-sway system and the number of gantry wheels. The 16-tired RTG cranes require a larger travel area. They cannot, therefore, be used in tiny spaces. 8-tired RTG cranes are preferred for smaller spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Power supply led the rubber tired gantry cranes market?

Being mobile, RTGs are often powered by a 100 to 600 kW diesel generator (genset) system. Because of the lack of an electrical grid to dump energy when containers are lowered, they often have large resistor packs to dissipate the energy of a container that is lowering or decelerating quickly. Diesel-powered RTGs are notorious ports polluters, as they burn up to 10 gallons of diesel fuel per hour each. Due to their use of more fuel, volatility in fuel costs, and generation of gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, Diesel rubber tired gantry cranes are usually environmentally and economically inefficient. Converting from diesel to electrified RTG cranes is one way to reduce carbon gas emissions and operating costs. The conversion of rubber tired gantry cranes from diesel to electric power, or switchable diesel / electric power, is an emerging trend in container ports around the world and one that has led Conductix-Wampfler to extensive field tests.
