Automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG/ARMG) Structural Inspection

Precision Assessment for Automated Crane Safety & Performance

At MB Engineering & Inspection Services, we provide specialised RMG/ARMG Structural Inspection services to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation of automated container handling systems. As a vital component in modern intermodal terminals, RMGs and ARMGs operate on a fixed rail track with high-frequency, unmanned cycles—making structural health and integrity a non-negotiable priority.

We help port operators minimise breakdown risks and maintain compliance with international engineering and automation safety standards through detailed inspections focused on the unique challenges of automated crane systems.

What We Inspect

Our RMG/ARMG inspections involve a thorough assessment of all critical structural and load-bearing components, including the gantry frame, trolley rails, hoisting assemblies, cantilever beams, walkway supports, and weld joints. We also evaluate the alignment of rail tracks and rail-to-crane connections for wear and stress deformation.

We use advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods such as Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to detect internal flaws, Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) for weld and metal surface assessments, Visual Inspection (VT) for general structural condition, and Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) for detecting surface cracks.

Why MB Engineering for RMG/ARMG Inspections?

Our team consists of certified NDT specialists and structural engineers who understand both the mechanical and automated control aspects of rail-mounted gantries. We tailor our inspection approach for systems that run under high-stress, repetitive-load environments typical of unmanned crane operations.

Each inspection includes digital reporting with high-resolution flaw mapping, structural condition grading and safety risk classification, preventive maintenance insights for long-term reliability, and compliance alignment with OEM specifications and international port safety codes.

Our Expertise in Action

We’ve worked with major terminal operators across Asia, the Middle East, and African ports, conducting RMG and ARMG inspections as part of annual maintenance programs, pre-commissioning verifications, asset condition audits, and emergency response assessments after impact or mechanical failure.

Whether your terminal is operating in extreme coastal conditions or under 24/7 automation, MBEIS ensures your rail-mounted gantries are safe, certified, and structurally optimized.
