In addition, stable low temperature impact resistance makes the structure highly reliable in complex environments.<\/li>\n<li>S45C &#8211; Japanese standard JIS G4051: Good machinability before heat treatment, and high hardness and strength after heat treatment. Medium carbon content (0.42 &#8211; 0.5) helps the product balance between strength and ductility, providing uniform mechanical properties ensuring stability for load-bearing applications (shafts, beams, gears).<\/li>\n<li>Main structural components of cranes such as: Girder, leg, sill beam, trolley, gantry used th\u00e9p A572 Grade 50 (A572 Gr50) steel. This is a high-strength steel, designed to meet the needs of load-bearing applications such as bridges, buildings, and especially port cranes. In addition, with its relative corrosion resistance, A572 Grade 50 provides a certain level of protection against environmental factors, making it the preferred choice for structures exposed to harsh conditions but requiring reasonable costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure style=\"width: 2038px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thacoindustries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-08-1-2048x1147.jpg\" alt=\"Standards for using steel for processing e-RTG cranes\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1147\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Standards for using steel for processing e-RTG cranes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully, the article will provide useful information for readers. <\/span>For advice on ordering and installing e-RTG gantry crane products at THACO INDUSTRIES, please contact the hotline: <strong>0348620063<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, RTG cranes are widely used in cargo handling operations at seaports and warehouses.
