Descripción general del proyecto
A container terminal operator in Uzbekistan required a heavy-duty, rail-mounted lifting solution capable of handling standard ISO containers at a high-throughput intermodal yard. The site demanded a crane that could deliver consistent lifting performance at 45 tonnes, cover a 32-metre span across the container stacking lanes, and operate reliably within the logistics demands of an active terminal environment.
After evaluating available suppliers, the client selected Henan Haitai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (HT Crane) for the supply of an Grúa RMG — Rail-Mounted Container Gantry Crane — customised to their site specifications. The unit has since been shipped from China, installed on-site, and is now in full operational service at the Uzbekistan facility.


Customer Requirements
The terminal operator came to the project with a defined set of operational requirements:
- Capacidad de levantamiento: 45 tonnes to handle fully loaded ISO containers
- Durar: 32 metres to cover the required number of container stacking rows
- Rail-mounted operation: Fixed-rail travel for precise positioning and high-cycle efficiency
- Anti-sway control: Essential for safe, accurate container placement at speed
- Intelligent monitoring: Real-time system status visibility for terminal management
- International certification: Equipment compliant with recognised classification standards
Project Challenges
Terminal Cycle Efficiency Container terminals operate on tight cycle times. The crane needed to minimise load swing during travel and maintain precise spreader positioning to keep pace with ground transport movements below.
Span and Structural Load Requirements At 32 metres span and 45 tonnes SWL, the crane’s main girder, supporting legs, and drive systems required careful structural engineering to maintain rigidity and stability under full load across the full span width.
Cross-Border Delivery to a Landlocked Market Uzbekistan is an inland country. Delivering a large-format RMG crane required careful planning of overland transport logistics, disassembly sequencing, and export packaging to ensure structural components arrived undamaged and within dimensional limits for road transport.
On-Site Installation Environment The installation team needed to commission the crane on an active terminal site, coordinating equipment erection, rail alignment, electrical commissioning, and system testing within the client’s operational schedule.
Our Solution: RMG Crane 45t-32m
HT Crane configured and delivered the following solution based on the client’s site requirements and operational profile.
Box-Section Main Girder and Structural Frame The main beam, supporting legs, and full machine frame adopt a box-section structural design, providing high rigidity with controlled self-weight. This structure is optimised for the combination of 45-tonne rated load and 32-metre span, maintaining deflection within design limits under full working load.
Rail-Mounted Travel with Variable Frequency Drive The gantry travel mechanism uses a 4-axis, 2-column tyre-type trolley configuration on the end trucks, with full variable frequency drive (VFD) control for smooth acceleration and deceleration. This reduces mechanical shock on the rail and wheel interface and enables precise positioning at both high travel speeds and slow approach speeds.
Precise Rotating Trolley with Automatic Telescopic Spreader The crane trolley is equipped with an automatic telescopic spreader and a precise rotating mechanism, effectively preventing spreader swing and twisting during container pick-and-place operations. The system supports two spreader rotation modes: lower spreader rotation and upper trolley rotation, providing flexibility for different container handling scenarios.
Space Eight-Rope Anti-Sway Mechanism The hoisting system incorporates a space eight-rope anti-sway mechanism that actively reduces load pendulum motion during gantry and trolley travel. This is critical for maintaining safe and accurate placement of 45-tonne containers at the required cycle speeds of a working terminal.
Intelligent Fault Detection System An onboard intelligent fault detection system continuously monitors the crane’s mechanical and electrical subsystems, providing early warning of developing faults and enabling planned maintenance intervention before failures occur.
Electrical Room Separated from Running Trolley The electrical control room is structurally separated from the running trolley, reducing the dynamic load on the trolley frame and protecting electrical components from vibration-induced wear — a design approach that directly improves long-term system reliability.
Automatic Cart Deviation Correction The gantry travel system includes automatic deviation correction logic that detects and compensates for lateral drift, preventing rail gnawing. This protects both the rail infrastructure and the crane’s wheel sets, reducing maintenance costs over the equipment’s working life.
Intelligent Monitoring System An integrated intelligent monitoring system provides terminal operators with real-time visibility of crane operating status, load data, and system diagnostics, supporting effective freight yard management and operational oversight.
Export Packaging and Overland Delivery The crane was disassembled into transport sections, anti-corrosion treated, and packed for overland export to Uzbekistan. Component sequencing and labelling were designed to support efficient on-site re-assembly.

Delivery Results
Following installation and commissioning at the Uzbekistan terminal, the RMG Crane was confirmed operational by the site team. The unit passed pre-shipment testing at HT Crane’s Henan production facility prior to export, and on-site commissioning was completed after delivery.
Key outcomes:
- Full-load operational testing completed prior to shipment at the manufacturer’s facility
- Successful overland delivery to Uzbekistan via coordinated cross-border logistics
- On-site installation and commissioning completed, with the crane confirmed in active service
- Anti-sway and precise positioning systems verified during commissioning, meeting the terminal’s operational cycle requirements
