Rail Mounted Container Gantry Crane, or RMG for short, is an important piece of equipment at ports, railway freight stations and other places, responsible for efficiently handling and stacking containers. Operating this equipment requires special attention to several key points to ensure safety, precision and efficiency. The following are the key points in its main lifting operations:
Preparation Before Operation
Check the spreader: Before operating the container gantry crane, the spreader, lock and safety lock device should be checked to ensure that there is no accidental loosening during the lifting process.
Track inspection: Ensure that the track is free of obstacles and kept clean to prevent jamming or sliding problems during operation, which will affect the safety of the equipment.
Equipment inspection: Check the condition of the electrical system, sensors, brakes and wheels to ensure that the mechanical equipment and its safety system are working properly.
Accurate Lifting Operation
Positioning accuracy: Since the container gantry crane needs to perform high-precision operations on the yard or track, the operator must control the equipment to accurately position the container to the specified position. Positioning systems and monitoring equipment should be used during operation to ensure neat stacking.
Speed and brake control: Controlling the lifting and travel speed is essential to maintaining equipment stability. RMG container cranes are usually equipped with frequency converters, which can smoothly adjust the speed and improve the safety of operation.
Spreader locking: Make sure that the container is completely locked by the spreader before lifting to avoid the container falling off during the lifting.
Key Points for Safe Lifting
Operation perspective: The operator needs to pay attention to the relative position of the spreader and the container at all times, and use the monitoring system to ensure that there are no obstacles in the field of vision.
Avoid other equipment: In the container yard, there are usually multiple RMG container cranes and other lifting equipment working at the same time. The operator needs to maintain a safe distance from other equipment to avoid collision.
Load control: The weight of the container lifted by the equipment cannot exceed the maximum load range. If necessary, use load sensors to monitor the weight to ensure that the equipment does not malfunction due to overloading.
Safety inspection after operation
Reset operation: After completing the lifting task, safely park the spreader and boom in place to ensure that the rail mounted gantry crane is in normal condition.
Cleaning and maintenance: Check key components such as motors, brake systems and wire ropes, and clean tracks, pulleys and slide rails in time to reduce wear and ensure the service life of the equipment.
The lifting operation of rail mounted gantry crane requires the operator to have a high degree of concentration and operating skills.
