Operating a grúa pórtico con neumáticos de goma (RTG) is a complex task that requires a thorough understanding of the advanced control systems and software that govern its movements and functions. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to operate an RTG crane:
System Familiarization
Before operating an RTG crane, the operator should receive comprehensive training on the specific control systems and software used in the crane. This training should cover the user interface, control panel, monitoring screens, and emergency procedures.
Remote Control Center
RTG cranes are typically operated from a centralized remote control center located within the terminal. Operators sit in a comfortable environment with multiple screens and control panels to view the crane’s operations in real time.
Navigation and Route Planning
RTG cranes follow predefined routes and paths within the container yard. The operator uses the control software to set the route and specify the desired container pickup and discharge locations. The system calculates the most efficient path to minimize travel time.
Container Stacking
The operator enters container information into the system, such as container type, size, and weight. The system then calculates the best location to stack the container based on the container’s attributes. The crane will pick up, move, and stack the containers according to the predetermined plan.
Safety Measures
RTG container cranes are equipped with advanced safety features, including collision avoidance systems and obstacle detection sensors. Operators should monitor these safety alerts and intervene when necessary. An emergency stop button is also provided to ensure an immediate stop in an emergency.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Operators should be trained to diagnose and resolve issues in the event of any system failure or unexpected condition. Regular maintenance checks are essential to ensure that the crane automation components are functioning properly. Operators should work closely with the maintenance team to ensure optimal performance of the crane.
Continuous Training and Improvement
Operating RTG container cranes requires continuous training to keep operators up to date with the latest software updates and enhancements. Terminal operators should provide regular training sessions to ensure operators are proficient in the crane’s automation features.
