Solution

A Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) crane is a type of crane used at ports and container terminals to move containers between trucks and storage areas. RTG cranes are equipped with rubber tires, allowing for high mobility around the terminal without the need for tracks.

Here are some common problems and solutions you should be aware of:

1. Problem: Reduced Power, Clogged Filters, Short Filter Replacement Intervals

These issues commonly occur in diesel engines due to the use of diesel fuel. The accumulation of particles in diesel fuel can clog the filters.

Solution: EonFuel 708

EonFuel 708 is a fuel dispersant, injector cleaner, and cetane improver. This additive is designed for diesel engines with various features and benefits.

It effectively reduces particle content in diesel fuel by more than 50% according to ISO CODE 4406, prevents low power in the unit due to clogged fuel filters, and can increase the cetane number by an average of 1-3 points.

Additionally, EonFuel 708 helps clean injector deposits quickly, restoring lost power and engine performance. By providing oxidation stability to diesel fuel, this additive also prevents deposit formation, ensuring optimal diesel engine performance.

2. Problem: Wire Issues

Wire rope issues on RTG cranes include corrosion and damage due to friction or excessive loads. Wear and tear occur due to continuous use, while the lubricants used are often inadequate. Corrosion is caused by exposure to harsh marine environments, while the wire rope is not adequately protected.

Solution: EonWire 230

EonWire 230 is a wire rope lubricant and inhibitor—a combination of lubricant and anti-corrosion agent for wire rope protection. EonWire strongly adheres to the surface of the wire rope, protecting against rust and wear caused by friction.

3. Problem: Automation of Wire Lubrication

Manual lubrication processes yield suboptimal results. Besides being labor-intensive and time-consuming, they also pose significant safety risks.

Solution 1: Autolube

Autolube is an automated lubrication system that offers convenience and optimal results.

Solusi 2: LE 452

LE 452 is a wire rope lubricant that works from the outer surface to the inner core layers. In addition to being mineral oil-based, this lubricant has a special advantage as it contains an additive called Almasol. This additive can prevent early wear, withstand high loads, and protect against corrosion.
