The Alabama Port Authority has ordered two Konecranes Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes for its new intermodal facility in Montgomery, Alabama. The order was booked in Q3 2025 and delivery is scheduled for Q4 2026.<\/p>\n
Container volumes at Alabama\u2019s Port of Mobile grew from approximately 502,000 TEUs in 2021 to more than 563,000 TEUs in 2023. With more growth expected, the Alabama Port Authority is now developing the Montgomery Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF). The two new Konecranes RTGs will provide the backbone for container handling at the ICTF, supporting efficient transfers to rail and truck transportation.<\/p>\n
In addition to Active Load Control, which prevents container sway, the RTGs will have a range of Konecranes Smart Features that make operations safer, faster and automation ready.\u00a0Auto-steering, Auto-positioning and Auto-TOS Reporting\u00a0work together to ensure efficient operation and accurate container placement, seamlessly integrated with the terminal operating system (TOS).\u00a0Stack Collision Prevention and Auto Path Optimizing\u00a0enhance safety and yard efficiency, while Auto-Truck Guiding\u00a0directs road trucks accurately for container pick-up and drop-off.<\/p>\n
This is the Alabama Port Authority\u2019s first investment in Konecranes RTGs, extending a relationship that began in 2001 with the delivery of a Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane. That crane is still in operation, handling containers and breakbulk cargo.<\/p>\n
This is part of Konecranes\u2019 path to port automation,\u00a0<\/strong>where\u00a0<\/strong>container terminals improve productivity and safety in manageable steps. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\nmaritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
