卡尔玛新闻摘要，2017年9月18日

卡尔玛推出全新轨道式龙门起重机（RMG），一款为市场打造的高兼容性预自动化设备。卡尔玛RMG能够满足客户在多式联运或集装箱码头运营领域的多项需求。

“我们很高兴聚焦于多式联运市场并且推出全新RMG。在产品设计上，我们充分利用现有40多年轨道式起重机制造和超过20年港口与码头自动化建设的经验。自20世纪70年代起，我们就陆续为多式联运码头交付了多种悬臂RMG，目前卡尔玛龙门吊起重机普遍应用于多式联运码头，尤其是在欧洲。随着新型RMG的推出，我们将结合不同类型设备激发最佳特性。”卡尔玛智能起重机解决方案副总裁Timo Alho说道。

卡尔玛RMG能够根据客户的具体需求量身定制，使其与新建港口相兼容，或适用于现有港口运营。该款起重机能够与卡尔玛水平运输设备或流动机械设备相结合从而为多式联运和集装箱码头提供完整的终端解决方案。所有卡尔玛RMG均配备电动驱动单元，极大地提高了效率，操作流畅，零排放。卡尔玛RMG轨道宽20-25米，起升重量高达65吨，起升高度达18米，可堆垛6+1个集装箱。

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, is proud to introduce Kalmar Rail Mounted Gantry Crane (RMG), a highly adaptable, automation-ready platform to the market. The Kalmar RMG can be designed to meet the exact requirements of customers' intermodal or container terminal operations.

"We are excited to put new focus on the intermodal market with our brand new RMG. In designing this product, we have leveraged our experience of over 40 years in rail-mounted cranes and over 20 years in port and terminal automation. We have delivered various cantilever RMGs to intermodal terminals since the 1970's, and today, Kalmar Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes are commonly used in intermodal terminals especially in Europe. With this new RMG, we were able to combine the best features of different types of equipment," says Timo Alho, Vice President, Intelligent Crane Solutions, Kalmar.

Kalmar RMGs can be tailored for customer-specific requirements, making them suitable for greenfield sites or to be fitted into an existing brownfield operation. The cranes can be combined with Kalmar Horizontal Transportation or Mobile Equipment to deliver a complete end-to-end solution for intermodal and container terminals. All Kalmar RMGs have electric drive units which are highly efficient, give exceptionally smooth operation and have zero emissions at source. Kalmar RMGs have a rail span of 20-55 metres, a lifting capacity of up to 65 tonnes, an outreach of up to 18 metres and can stack up to a height of 1 over 6.

"What is so special about our RMGs is that they can be automated step by step by adding features incrementally when it suits the customer. We have utilised the same, field-proven technology that is already available in our fifth generation automatic stacking cranes (ASCs). All Kalmar RMGs can be operated manually, remotely or automatically. Even if you choose a manually operated crane today, it can be retrofitted in the future to be remote controlled or automated. Now our customers can decide when it fits their plans to join in the automation journey," says Timo Alho.
