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.

The Europe region led the rubber tired gantry cranes market in 2019. The major contributors to the rubber tired gantry cranes market in Europe are Germany, France, the UK, Russia, and Italy, among others. Europe's ports have adopted electric RTGs for reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Government regulations in this region have enabled the adoption of electrical container handling equipment, such as carbon emission verification in maritime transportation. Also, financial transparency regarding port investments has enabled port authorities to invest strategically in port infrastructure. European nations rank among the leading importers and exporters of commodities and goods. Europe accounts for a large volume of trade in products and assets, such as machinery, vehicles, aircraft, fuels, nonferrous metals, textiles, chemicals, clothing, and crude oils. Europe ranks first in trading, owing to which the region leads the global market for rubber tired gantry cranes.

Which factor is driving the rubber tired gantry cranes market?

The layout of trade has given a new role in developing countries across the globe. While in the past, developing countries were providers of raw materials. Nowadays, developing countries, including China, are emerging as important importers and exporters of goods by sea. This has led to an increase in the demand for seaborne trading. Rise in the growth of seaborne trade has been rising over the years. Asia region was, till now by far the biggest trading region. In 2018, 4.5 Bn tons of goods were loaded, and 6.7 Bn tons unloaded in Asian seaports. The other continents were noted less than half of these amounts. Over the years, developing economies still accounted for the largest share of global seaborne trade, both in terms of exports (goods loaded) and imports (goods unloaded). However, an important rise in the seaborne trading is assisting the rubber Tire gantry crane market across the globe. Moreover, an increase in in-country transportation of commodities and goods via trains is rising the global rubber Tire gantry crane market.

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. While the RTG operates in a row of containers, it can only run on electric power, and the diesel engine can be switched off.
