Double-Girder Rubber-Tyred Gantry Crane

What is this?

The double girder rubber tyred gantry crane is a heavy-duty, wheel-mounted container and bulk cargo handling crane designed for high-intensity port terminals, large container yards, and heavy industrial sites. Featuring two box-section main girders and a robust rubber-tyred travel system, it offers the perfect balance of mobility and heavy lifting capacity – eliminating the need for fixed rail tracks while delivering performance comparable to rail-mounted systems. Equipped with a telescopic container spreader, hook, or grab, it can handle ISO containers (20ft/40ft/45ft), steel coils, heavy machinery, and bulk materials with ease. If you are operating a busy container terminal, a large intermodal depot, a heavy steel service center, or an industrial plant requiring frequent heavy lifts up to 65 tons, and need the flexibility to move freely across your yard without rail constraints, this product is designed for you.

Why choose a double girder rubber tyred gantry crane over a single girder rubber tyred gantry crane?

Compared to single girder rubber tyred gantry cranes, the double girder solution offers four core advantages:

First, higher lifting capacity – the double girder structure provides superior load distribution and structural strength, supporting capacities from 30 tons up to 65 tons (and even 100 tons for special applications), far exceeding the 32-ton limit of typical single girder designs.

Second, greater lifting height – with the trolley and hoist mechanism positioned between the two girders, the double girder configuration allows for higher hook heights, enabling stacking of up to 7 containers high – significantly increasing yard density.

Third, wider span capability – the increased structural rigidity of double girders supports spans up to 50 meters, covering 6 to 10 rows of containers or extensive working areas in a single pass.

Fourth, superior stability and precision – the twin-girder design minimizes deflection during heavy lifts, ensuring accurate positioning of heavy or oversized loads, which is critical for container stacking and heavy machinery handling.

If your operation demands heavy lifting capacities (above 32 tons), high stacking heights (above 5 containers), or wide spans (above 35 meters), the double girder rubber tyred gantry crane delivers the performance and reliability you need – without the capital expense of rail installation.

What can we do for you? We understand that every terminal has different container throughput, different cargo types, and different operational requirements. Therefore, we offer flexible customization options: lifting capacity from 30 tons to 65 tons (up to 100 tons for special applications); span from 18 meters to 50 meters; lifting height from 6 meters to 21 meters (stacking up to 7 containers high); wheel configurations of 8-wheel, 16-wheel, or 32-wheel options depending on capacity and ground conditions; control options of cabin control, wireless radio remote, or fully automatic; power supply options of diesel generator set, cable reel, or conductor bar; spreader options of telescopic container spreader (for 20ft/40ft/45ft), hook, C-hook (for coils), or grab (for bulk materials).

Whether your terminal handles containers, steel coils, heavy machinery, or bulk cargo, we can match the most suitable capacity, span, and stacking height for your specific needs.
