The video "E-RTG Drive-In P -- a reliable solution for RTG electrification" provides an insight into the electrification of Rubber-Tyred Gantries using the Conductix-Wampfler conductor rail system-solution "Drive-In P" .

For years, rubber tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) have driven up costs considerably for port operators. It is not uncommon for these indispensable, diesel-driven cranes to take up half of the total fuel consumption at a port. To noticeably reduce fuel costs, more and more port operators are converting their cranes from diesel to electric power -- with the trend moving in this direction. Conductix-Wampfler offers port operators different solutions to convert RTG cranes to electrically driven E-RTGs.

One of these systems is the "Drive-In P". When the RTG is moving into the container aisle, the pantograph is automatically steered into the guide rails of the steel construction and the pantograph is securely guided into the conductor rails. Since 2009 Conductix-Wampfler has completed many projects with that fully automatic and reliable RTG electrification system e.g. in the Shekou Container Terminal in China.

Conductix-Wampfler is continually improving the RTG electrification systems . In 2011 the new "Drive-In L" system has been launched, that offers an extremely compact design, works completely without pneumatic or hydraulic components and is currently one of the lightest on the market. This makes it possible to use it for any type of RTG, including those with little space for additional components. With the "Drive-In L" system, Conductix-Wampfler set new standards in the market of RTG electrification. For more information about the "E-RTG Drive-In L" solution please have a look at the video "E-RTG Drive-In L -- the new standard for RTG electrification" ( [ Ссылка ] ).

Conductix-Wampfler is the world's leading supplier of energy supply and data transmission systems for moving machinery and is known for its expertise in a multitude of applications, since all the typical technologies for the transmission of energy and data are available from one source: festoon systems, conductor bars, energy guiding chains, spring cable reels, motor driven cable reels, slip ring assemblies and contactless power transmission systems. For the customers, this means consulting without bias towards a particular product, and the means to achieve the optimum technical and economical implementation for the specific application.
