Guindaste Pórtico Preço Guide 2026: What MH, MG and RMG Models Actually Cost
If you are budgeting a gantry crane for a yard, precast plant, rail terminal or shipyard, the price spread between a 5-ton MH single-girder unidade and a 40-ton RMG container crane is not a matter of a few percent — it is roughly a 10x range. This guide breaks down realistic 2026 price bands by model, explains what drives the number up or down, and shows where buyers tipicamente overspend.
Quick Reference: 2026 Guindaste Pórtico Preço Bands (FOB China)
- MH single-girder gantry, 1–10T, 12–30m span: USD 8,000–28,000
- MG double-girder gantry, 5–50T, 18–35m span: USD 35,000–180,000
- RMG rail-mounted container gantry, 30–40T: USD 220,000–650,000+
- Construção Naval gantry (custom, 50–300T): quoted por projeto, tipicamente USD 500,000–2,500,000
These figures assume standard Q345B steel structure, Schneider/Siemens/ABB electricals, SEW or equivalent gearboxes, and CE-level documentation. Freight, foundation, rails and installation are excluded.
MH Single-Girder Pórtico: The Entry Point
The MH is the workhorse for outdoor storage yards, small precast beds and maintenance bays. Capacities run 1–20T, but the price curve is steepest below 10T because the hoist and end-carriage assembly dominate cost.
- 3T, 15m span, CD guindaste elétrico: USD 8,000–13,000
- 5T, 18m span: USD 12,000–18,000
- 10T, 22m span: USD 20,000–28,000
Practical advice: if your duty cycle is under 15 lifts/hour and you are not handling molten metal or containers, the MH is almost always the correct financial decision. Buyers who upgrade to MG "for safety" at 5T tipicamente spend 2.5x for capacity they never use.
MG Double-Girder Pórtico: Where Most Industrial Buyers Land
The MG is the standard choice for 10–50T outdoor lifting — precast panels, steel coils, pipes, fabricated structures. Two girders, a trolley hoist, and a wider wheelbase give better stability and higher duty class (A5–A7).
- 10T, 20m span, A5: USD 35,000–55,000
- 20T, 25m span, A5: USD 60,000–95,000
- 32T, 30m span, A6: USD 95,000–140,000
- 50T, 35m span, A7: USD 140,000–180,000
Three cost drivers matter more than capacity itself:
- Span. Going from 20m to 30m adds roughly 25–35% to steel weight and price. If your yard layout is flexible, shrinking span by 3–4m is the single fastest way to cut cost.
- Duty class. A6 vs A5 adds 10–15%; A7 adds 20–30% through heavier motors, brakes and structure.
- Cantilever length. Each metre of cantilever on one or both sides is priced almost like main span steel.
RMG Container Pórtico: Rail-Mounted, High-Cycle
RMG cranes for 20ft/40ft container handling start around USD 220,000 for a 30.5T single-container unidade and climb past USD 650,000 for a 40T twin-lift with full automation, anti-sway and remote diagnostics.
- 30.5T, 6+1 wide, semi-automatic: USD 220,000–320,000
- 40T, 7+1 wide, twin-lift: USD 380,000–520,000
- 40T, automated stacking, remote control room: USD 520,000–650,000+
RMG pricing is dominated by the control system, not the steel. A semi-automatic RMG and a fully automated one can share 70% of their structure and differ by USD 200,000 in drives, PLCs, laser positioning and software.
What Moves the Price Beyond the Base Quote
- Design standard. GB/T 3811 is the baseline. FEM 1.001 or DIN 15018 adds 5–12%; CMAA #70 for North American projects adds 10–18% due to heavier structure and documentation.
- Components. Schneider/Siemens/ABB/SEW is the standard export configuration. Substituting unbranded drives can cut 8–15% but complicates spare parts in 3–5 years.
- Certification. CE, EAC (TR CU 010/020), GCC/SASO, SONCAP and KEBS each require different documentation and sometimes structural re-verification. Budget USD 1,500–6,000 per certification set.
- Environment. Outdoor coastal or foundry duty requires galvanizing, epoxy systems or IP55+ panels — tipicamente 6–12% uplift.
How to Get an Accurate Number Fast
To receive a firm quote rather than a range, prepare five data points: capacity, span, lifting height, duty class, and power supply (voltage/phase/Hz). With those, a competent exporter can return a priced offer in hours, not weeks. Chunhua Guindaste quotes within a 4-hour SLA across its 81 standard models, with 30–45 day production and a 12-month warranty. No MOQ applies.
