RMG Container Crane for Wanli Smart Inland Port
Henan Mine Crane RMG container crane operating above stacked containers at the smart inland-port project.
Smart inland ports need container cranes that combine reliable yard productivity with accurate positioning and centralized operating visibility. The crane must handle repetitive container cycles while working safely around trucks, stacks and intermodal transport lanes.
Henan Mine Crane supplied a rail-mounted container gantry crane for the Wanli New Energy Smart Inland Port project in Ordos. The original report states that the project targeted annual throughput of 5 million tonnes and that the crane uses Schneider variable-frequency control, Siemens PLC, RCMS remote monitoring and operation, anti-sway and truck anti-lift functions.
Project Background
Inland-port container yards connect road, rail and storage operations. Delays in container pickup, spreader alignment or truck positioning can reduce the productivity of the whole logistics chain.
For procurement, the key inputs include rated capacity under spreader, container mix, stack rows, span, lifting height, yard travel length, truck lanes, target cycles per hour, automation level and required terminal-control interfaces.
Customer Challenges
- Accurate spreader positioning over containers and truck lanes.
- Reducing container sway during high-frequency yard handling.
- Preventing accidental truck lifting when the spreader remains connected to a container.
- Remote visibility of crane status, faults and operating conditions.
- Handling different container positions in a complex inland-port yard.
- Supporting increasing terminal throughput without excessive manual intervention.
Henan Mine Crane Solution
The Wanli project crane uses full-vehicle variable-frequency speed control and a Siemens PLC platform. RCMS provides remote monitoring and operating functions so terminal personnel can view crane status from a centralized position.
Anti-sway control improves container stability, while a truck anti-lift system addresses the risk of lifting a vehicle together with a locked container. Automatic container search and intelligent control support spreader zero-position monitoring and automatic spreader guidance for more accurate container handling.
The result is a rail-mounted gantry crane configured specifically for repetitive inland-port stacking and transfer operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an RMG and an RTG for an inland port?
An RMG runs on fixed rails and is well suited to permanent high-throughput container blocks. An RTG runs on rubber tires and provides more routing flexibility. Yard layout and operating strategy determine the better choice.
Can an RMG include remote monitoring and semi-automatic handling?
Yes. PLC, VFD, RCMS, positioning and spreader-guidance functions can be integrated according to the required automation level.
What should I provide for an inland-port RMG quotation?
Provide container types, rated capacity, span, lifting height, stack arrangement, rail gauge, runway length, truck lanes, target throughput, power supply and control-system requirements.
