The rubber tired gantry crane is a common container handling system at the world's largest terminals with annual capacity requirements up to millions of TEUs.
Kalmar's RTG is the technological frontrunner in the market. Fully equipped with Smartrail® - the auto steering system - and a container verification system, the machine has been developed in response to changing market requirements.
Smartrail® is now a highly regarded feature of the Kalmar RTG and is used to great effect within many of the world's largest RTG terminals.
Similarly, the electrical anti-sway system continues to play a significant part in improving the performance of the Kalmar RTG design.
