What does RTGC mean in UNCLASSIFIED

A Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane (RTGC) is a type of overhead crane used for transferring or lifting heavy loads. It consists of two parallel girders, connected by steel cables, which are supported by wheels mounted on axles. The RTGC moves along rails and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

An RTGC is designed to handle heavy and irregularly shaped objects, such as containers, machinery components and bulk cargo. It can also be used for short or long-distance transport of goods or people, depending on its configuration.

The size of an RTGC's working area is determined by the wheelbase of its axles and the length of its girders, as well as the weight that it was designed to carry. Generally speaking, RTG cranes have a maximum span of 40 meters, but can cover larger areas if configured properly.

Yes. An RTGC can come equipped with multiple features such as automated cargo handling systems and intelligent sensors that allow it to monitor its surroundings in real time. Additionally, some models are fitted with rubber tires that reduce damage to floors caused by operating heavy loads indoors.

Operators need to ensure that the working environment has adequate visibility and ventilation before starting up the crane; they should also check for any loose items on the ground around them that could cause harm while operating the machine. Additionally, workers must wear appropriate safety gear at all times – including hard hats, ear protection and high-visibility clothing – while conducting operations with the crane.

An average-sized RTG Crane typically uses up to 1000 kilowatts of power when in operation; however this depends on the model specifications as well as how much weight it is carrying at any given time.

The speed at which an RTG crane travels depends on many factors such as the weight it’s carrying at a given time; however on average these cranes can reach speeds between 5 and 15 meters/minute depending on their size and design specifications.
