RMG Container Crane for Luoyang International Inland Port
Henan Mine Crane rail-mounted gantry crane installed for international inland-port container handling.
International inland ports need reliable container-handling equipment that can support rail logistics, truck transfer and yard stacking without creating bottlenecks at the crane block.
Henan Mine Crane supplied a customized rail-mounted container gantry crane to the Dongfanghong (Luoyang) International Inland Port. According to the original project report, the crane uses variable-frequency speed control, a Siemens PLC system, anti-sway control, a ring trolley hoisting mechanism and an interchangeable upper/lower-frame spreader arrangement.
Project Background
An inland-port RMG has to combine heavy repetitive duty with accurate handling over rail tracks and container stacks. The project layout may include different handling positions and cargo requirements, making trolley arrangement and spreader flexibility important.
For procurement, the crane should be specified together with the block layout: rail tracks, truck lanes, stack width, lifting height, runway length, container sizes and expected throughput.
Customer Challenges
- Maintaining container stability during long trolley and crane travel.
- Achieving accurate placement over rail wagons, trucks and container stacks.
- Adapting the hoisting arrangement to complex handling positions.
- Handling different cargo or container requirements with suitable spreader interfaces.
- Providing reliable operation for long-term inland-port logistics service.
Henan Mine Crane Solution
The Luoyang project uses full variable-frequency control and Siemens PLC for smooth crane motion and coordinated operating logic. Anti-sway control supports more accurate container handling by reducing oscillation during transfer.
A ring trolley is used as the hoisting mechanism to adapt to the project's complex lifting positions. The upper/lower-frame spreader structure enables spreader interchangeability so the inland port can respond to different handling requirements.
For similar projects, Henan Mine Crane can adapt the RMG structure, trolley, spreader, control system and safety functions to the terminal's rail and yard geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use an RMG at an inland port?
RMG cranes are effective for permanent container blocks where rail-guided travel, high utilization and repeatable stacking are priorities.
What is the benefit of an interchangeable spreader system?
It allows the crane to adapt the lifting interface to different container or cargo-handling requirements without replacing the whole crane.
What should be included in the RMG RFQ?
Provide rated capacity, container sizes, span, lifting height, rail gauge, runway length, stack layout, truck lanes, target throughput, power supply and required control functions.
