The RTG Crane Simulation System of the Modelling and Simulation Laboratory is an advanced system that will allow developing a comprehensive training programme for handling cranes of RTG type.
Description
Updated version November 2017 (here)
A RTG Crane is a large gantry crane, which can travel on both rails and tires. When RTG cranes run on rails, they have a limited range of operations because it can only operate on its rails. On tires they have a wider operating range.
RTG Cranes are used for loading and unloading of containers on trucks or wagons or to put containers one above the other.
Simulation System developed by the Laboratory for Simulation and Modelling (LSyM) is a complete system that incorporates the latest technologies used in the field of simulation for training, including projection equipment from high performance to the necessary training materials for learning development and training of the operators of your company.
The RTG crane is used in container terminals for cargo management at these terminals. To the inherent difficulty of working with containers, is added in this case the crane manoeuvre down the street and the necessary attention to truck traffic on the existing terminal.
