Konecranes has announced that it recently received an order for three RTG (rubber tired gantry) cranes from US transportation supplier CSX Intermodal Terminals.
The cranes have a lifting capacity of 50 tons, and will be used for stacking and moving containers from tail to truck and vice versa, and will be equipped with the latest DGPS-assisted technology for container yards.
This technology includes an Autosteering feature, which is designed to keep the cranes on a pre-programmed straight driving path, improving safety and increasing productivity.
This is the first RTG delivery Konecranes will supply to CSX, with the cranes expected to be delivered in June 2013.
CSX Corporation is a leading US transportation supplier. The company's transportation network covers 23 states. Its rail and intermodal businesses provide rail-based transportation services including traditional rail service and the transport of intermodal containers and trailers.
