Electrified Rubber Tire Gantry Crane (eRTG) Solutions - Your Partner in making ports sustainable and cost efficient

But why should one consider moving to E RTG’s?

• Conventionally, RTGs or Rubber Tire Gantry Cranes are equipped with gensets that convert diesel fuel into electricity to move these RTGs. However, electrification of RTG or eRTGs as they are popularly known, reduces the dependency on fossil fuels. The power grid provides electricity to the RTG via a cable reel.
• eRTG cranes utilize electricity as their primary power source, eliminating reliance on diesel engines. By electrifying RTGs, we significantly reduce carbon emissions, noise pollution, and operational costs, all while enhancing efficiency and productivity.
• Did you know? The conversion of diesel to electric powered RTGs results in a reduction of diesel fuel consumption by about 95%.
• Electroflex’s core competency is in the development, production, and installation of tailor made, engineered solutions that provide energy supply and data transmission for our customers‘ port movement machinery. We also provide consultancy services for complete electrification of ports.

eRTG Solutions from Electroflex

Motor Driven RTG Cable Reel Solutions

Electroflex eRTG solutions are based on RTG cable reel technology for reliable and uninterrupted supply of power to electrified rubber tire gantry. The cable reel is a pivotal component within the converted eRTG systems as they facilitate safe transfer of electric power from the main grid. It plays a crucial role in the seamless operation of electrified rubber tire gantry cranes, enabling ports to achieve sustainability and improved safety in container handling operations.

• Motorized RTG Cable Reels with Permanent Magnetic Couplers Offers a unique "plug & play” system based on inter-changeable electrical andmechanical components.
• Frequency Controlled Motorized Cable Reels Offers an extensive array of control units. We can supply pre-programmed hardware controls mounted on a panel or in a control cabinet. We can also create a software program designed to integrate with existing PLC units.
• RTG Busbar with L Solution Just like the RTG cable reel solution, RTG busbar too converts the operations to fully electric mode, ‌removing the need for dependency on fossil fuels. With the “Drive-in L” solution, the current collector system is installed on the RTG. Once engaged in the structure and conductor rails, the trolley runs freely. Drive-in process is fully automated– requiring no additional ground staff. All movements of the RTG are electrically driven, requiring no additional hydraulics or pneumatics.
• The RTG Busbar’s compact design easily fits into the narrow installation space on the RTG and the modular concept allows integration of data transmission systems laying the foundation for RTG automation.The other benefit is that the retrofit electric RTG busbar solutions are silent and can work longer as they do not require refuelling, ‌increasing productivity and reducing pollution.
• Hybrid RTG Hybrid RTG or hybrid rubber tire gantry cranes run on battery packs stacked on the crane. These battery packs help reduce the dependency on grid power availability. A powerful battery pack stacked on the Hybrid RTG provides all the energy required by components like hoist,gantry, trolley and the auxiliaries for efficient working. The regenerated power from the motors is recovered and fed back into the battery, improving energy efficiency. The battery is recharged with the help of a small genset available on the crane to ensure no downtime. A Hybrid RTG results in 60% lower fuel consumption and just 40% emissions as compared to conventional RTG.
