Smart power

Kalmar’s new generation of rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) is comprised of five models, all with highly efficient powertrains: the Kalmar AutoRTG, the Kalmar Zero Emission RTG, the Kalmar Hybrid RTG, the Kalmar SmartPower RTG and the Kalmar Classic RTG.

Marko Rasinen, product manager at Cargotec’s Kalmar, said: “The new generation of RTGs is a major update on our proven and highly popular RTG platform. We’ve implemented hundreds of improvements using the latest technologies based on feedback from our customers. Virtually every system has been improved in one way or another, bringing a vast range of benefits across the board and establishing a new standard for the category.”

Efficient energy systems

Kalmar RTGs have always been designed to feature highly efficient energy systems, and the new generation of RTGs takes things a step further with optimised weight and smart choices in power systems, engines and component sizing.

The new generation is centred around a stronger, lighter and simpler modular design and offers intelligent features to enable a productive and eco-efficient container handling solution.

Safer and easier to operate, the RTGs feature new anti-sway technology, enhanced cabin design with improved visibility, and a redesigned crane management system (CMS).

All models are automation-ready and their size can be customised according to customer specifications up to 10+1 wide to maximise stacking efficiency.

The Kalmar AutoRTG application, powered by the Kalmar One automation system, allows terminal operators to automate their operations at their own pace.

Additionally, all new-generation RTGs are connected to the Kalmar Cloud, making it possible to monitor the cranes remotely and benefit from remote support from the Kalmar service team.
