RTG / RMG Cranes
Yard operations, optimised.
Rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) and rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes form the backbone of container yard operations. ELS provides repair, spare parts, electrification, and modernisation services to maximise your yard crane fleet availability.
RTG & RMG Crane Engineering
Fleet availability is everything
Container yards rely on RTG and RMG fleets to stack, retrieve, and reposition containers at the pace terminals demand. When cranes go down, yard congestion builds rapidly. ELS provides the maintenance, repair, and parts supply that keeps your fleet moving.
Diesel to electric conversion
One of the most impactful upgrades for RTG fleets is electrification — replacing diesel generators with cable reel or busbar power supply systems. ELS designs and implements these conversions, dramatically reducing fuel costs and emissions while improving operational performance.
We service RTG and RMG cranes from Kalmar, Konecranes, ZPMC, Liebherr, and legacy manufacturers. Our capabilities cover hoist and gantry drive systems, spreaders, steering systems, power supply, and cabin controls.
Beyond day-to-day repairs, ELS carries out structural assessments, fatigue life evaluations, and complete overhaul programmes that extend the operational life of your yard crane fleet — often at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
Electrification & Automation
RTG electrification is one of the highest-return investments a terminal can make. ELS has delivered multiple electrification projects, converting diesel-hydraulic RTGs to fully electric operation using cable reel systems.
For terminals moving toward automation, we also support the integration of semi-automated and automated stacking systems — including GPS positioning, anti-collision, and remote operation capabilities for existing RTG and RMG fleets.

Maximise Your
Yard Capacity
Higher fleet availability means higher yard throughput. ELS engineering services are designed to keep every RTG and RMG in your fleet operational and performing at peak efficiency.
