HIMOINSA generator sets supply power to two Rubber-Tyred Transtainer (RTG) cranes of PACECO Espa?a, a company that designs, manufactures and develops container handling equipment. The two RTG cranes are working at the Port of Constanta, in Romania, the largest port in the Black Sea. The cranes have been designed with state-of-the-art technology to optimise container handling in the port?s terminals, to ensure operational safety at all times and to enable all operations to be automated in the future.

The gensets supply continuous power to the Transtainer RTG cranes that load and unload containers in the port, machines designed to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with very brief stops for maintenance and continuous container loading and unloading cycles.

The HIMOINSA Engineering team, together with PACECO, has designed the gensets to tailor them to the specific needs of RTG applications. Both generators are ready to work very hard, with very large peaks in demand for power.

To cope with these abrupt load variations and to minimise running costs, the design incorporates engine speed control and cooling optimisation solutions, intended to reduce fuel consumption, resulting in an improvement of approximately 20 per cent.

To meet the needs of a seaport market that is increasingly demanding as far as noise is concerned, the gensets are housed in a sound-proofed canopy and its brackets and anchor points to the main crane chassis have been designed to withstand the force exerted on all three axes as a result of motion during the transportation of the crane and when it is loading or unloading containers.
