APS for E-RTG
Automated power connection for safer, more efficient yard operations
Cavotec’s Automatic Plug-in System (APS) revolutionises how electric rubber-tyred gantry (E-RTG) cranes connect to electrical power and yard communication systems. By fully automating the plug-in and disconnection process, APS eliminates manual handling, increases safety, and enhances operational efficiency.
Key Benefits
Reduced CAPEX
Minimal yard modification and easy integration with existing E-RTGs — requiring only limited civil works — make APS a cost-effective electrification solution.
Low OPEX
Built on Cavotec’s proven cable reel technology, APS offers exceptional reliability and low maintenance costs, ensuring long-term operational savings.
Improved productivity
APS enables faster, automated crane connection and disconnection, supporting higher throughput and reliable data and real-time video transmission via fiber optic.
Optimised operations
Through integration with Cavotec SCADA, APS supports faster crane deployment, yard-wide device coordination, predictive maintenance, and system redundancy for maximum uptime.
Safer operations
The unmanned connection process eliminates operator exposure to high-voltage interfaces, ensuring the highest levels of safety.
