Automated RTG

Product catalog summary
Introduction to Automated RTGs: The document introduces Konecranes' Automated Rubber-Tired Gantry (ARTG) cranes, highlighting the benefits of automation in container terminal operations, such as increased safety, productivity, and predictability. It emphasizes the ease of integrating automation into existing RTG-based container terminals without significant infrastructure investments.
ARTG System Overview: The ARTG system includes a 16-wheel RTG with Active Load Control and Autosteering, various power options (cable reel, busbar, diesel fuel saver), and a comprehensive automation package. This package comprises a Remote Operating Station (ROS), truck guidance system, intelligent gate, and necessary yard infrastructure, along with automation software for seamless integration with Terminal Operating Systems (TOS).
Technical Capabilities: The ARTG system is designed to handle rough yard surfaces and variations in container positioning. It features a robust steel structure and Active Load Control technology to eliminate container sway. The system tolerates variations in runway surfaces, stacking areas, and tire conditions, ensuring reliable automated operations.
Operational Process: The document outlines the ARTG operational process, including automated stacking and truck loading/unloading managed by remote operators. It highlights the modular design of truck traffic, safety fencing, and gates, which can be customized for specific terminals.
Performance Specifications: Key performance metrics are provided, such as maximum lifting height, crane width, and speeds for hoisting, trolley traversing, and gantry travel. The ARTG system includes patented Active Load Control technology, anti-collision features, and various power options to enhance operational efficiency.
Conclusion: Konecranes positions its ARTG technology as a field-proven solution, drawing parallels with Automated RMG terminals. The document concludes with a call to join the 'Yard Revolution' by adopting ARTG systems to improve terminal operations.
