    Electrification of 4 Container blocks with RTG Type of use [E-RTGTM Drive-In L]

    The electrification of Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes (RTGs) at the Georgia Ports Authority’s Garden City Terminal marks a significant step toward sustainable and efficient port operations. By integrating cutting-edge energy supply solutions, this project enhances operational reliability while reducing emissions and maintenance costs. The system ensures seamless power delivery for RTGs, optimizing performance without compromising flexibility.

    Conductix-Wampfler provided the advanced electrification technology for four container blocks, utilizing the E-RTG™ Drive-In L system to enable a smooth and efficient transition to electric-powered crane operations.
