CUSTOMER STORY: Lanzhou Port Supercharges Container Efficiency with Henan Mine RMG

Project Location: Lanzhou International Port Area, China
Product Supplied: Rail Mounted Container Gantry Crane (RMG)
Crane Configuration:

• Capacity: Custom heavy-load

• Work Duty: A8 (24/7 full-load operation)

• Features: Unmanned operation, intelligent monitoring, rapid fault diagnosis

Client Challenge

As a key hub on the Silk Road Economic Belt, Lanzhou International Port Area faced mounting pressure to handle a growing volume of rail–container intermodal traffic linking Central Asia, West Asia, and Europe. Their original gantry cranes struggled with:

• Limited lifting efficiency during peak periods

• Mechanical fatigue under year-round, all-weather usage

• Manual operation bottlenecks causing slow turnaround

• Reactive maintenance and lack of remote diagnostics

With rising demand and the urgency to streamline logistics, the client required a high-speed, highly reliable, and automated crane system that could operate 24/7, regardless of season or workload.

Henan Mine's Tailored Solution

Henan Mine designed and delivered a fully customized RMG crane engineered to meet A8-level heavy-duty working conditions, with the following innovations:

Ultra-Fast Operation

• Lifting speed and trolley speed significantly enhanced

• +50% lifting efficiency compared to traditional U-frame gantry cranes

Stable & Durable Performance

• Precision motion system ensures smooth running, reducing alternating load shocks

• Mechanical wear minimized, leading to extended equipment lifespan

All-Season, 24/7 Readiness

• Designed for extreme weather and continuous operation

• Rugged structure and enclosure resist wind, rain, dust, and temperature extremes

Unmanned Operation & Real-Time Monitoring

• Fully automated control with remote dashboard and CMS system

• Supports real-time fault detection and instant diagnostics, reducing downtime by 40%

Result: Operational Breakthrough at Lanzhou Port

• Container handling throughput increased dramatically

• Real-time data visibility empowered smarter logistics coordination

• Fewer maintenance interruptions thanks to predictive diagnostics

• Cut crane cycle time, enabling faster train turnarounds and port fluidity

Client Feedback:
“This crane changed our entire operational tempo. It works around the clock, doesn’t break down, and helps us keep up with the increasing demands of the Eurasian corridor.”
