Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (8-wheeler Gantry Crane, 16-wheeler Gantry Crane), By Application (Construction, Oil & Gas, Shipbuilding, Power & Utilities, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The rising trend towards electric rubber tyre gantry cranes backed by stringent governmental norms to reduce carbon and other harazdous emissions emitting from the equipment is a major factor driving this market. Also, from the demand side, port authorities are significantly investing in installing electric gantry cranes to reduce the operating costs and expand its port infrastructure to meet the growing demand. For instance, in January 2020, six electric rubber tyre gantry (RTG) cranes were integrated ABP’s Immingham Container Terminal at the port of Immingham to execute its expansion plans. Also, installation of elecric cranes will reduce fuel consumption by 95%. Apart from this, manufacturers providing energy storage solutions are also emphasizing to optimize or replace diesel system with electric for heavy industrial applications. For instance, in February 2018, Sterling PBES, a Energy Solutions provider installed and comissioned rubber tyre gantry crane with China Communications Construction Company (CCCC). This crane installation would be effective in emissions reductions and at the same time provide significant operational cost savings. Similarly, in June 2020, Klabin, Brazilian producer and exporter of packaging paper, concluded an agreement with Kalmar, part of Cargotec, to integrate three Zero Emission rubber-tyred gantry cranes to eliminate the need for hydraulic oil and produce no emissions or engine noise at source. Apart from this, key rubber gantry vendors are focusing on integrating advanced intutive technologies mainly SmartFleet remote monitoring solution, automated gantry steering solution to manage, troubleshoot and analyse the status, productivity and maintenance of the equipment. Also, to improve safety and operator performance while conducting picking and placing containers activity. However, the Novel Coronavirus outbreak has caused the shipping and maritime industry to face the worst circumstances with all kinds of cargos came to a standstill due to unavailability of workforces at dockyards and port stations to reduce the escalation of COVID-19. Additionally, less demand for cargos, disputes between owners and charters and lay time settlement, are some of the other factors which highly slashed this industry further slowing down the rubeer tired gantry cranes market.
