The latest cranes will be the first 16-wheel RTGs in the port and will be fitted with Konecranes’ ‘Active Load Control’, which improves container handling performance. In addition, they will be equipped with DGPS-assisted technology for container yards as well as Autosteering that keeps the cranes on a pre-programmed straight driving path, thus improving safety and increasing productivity.
The RTG container positioning system is connected to the port’s terminal operating system (TOS) to provide real time container positioning while maintaining accuracy in inventory. Container handling efficiency is further increased by the Autostop feature, which assists the driver by automatically stopping the crane in the correct position for the target container or slot.
Equipped with technology for remote monitoring, predictive maintenance and remote support, the cranes’ eco-efficient fuel-saving system reduces fuel consumption significantly by eliminating high-speed idling. It also reduces noise and emissions.
