"From many. One."
A Rubber-Tired-Gantry Crane (RTG) is virtually identical to a "Transtainer" --
except the latter term also applies to a unit which moves on a rail within the port.

This is thought to be one of the oldest Paceco RTG cranes in the harbor.
Former post of the very lucky operator
Since Sept. 18 the Harbor Dept. has filled in the sink-hole.
RTG has been removed with a large mobile crane. Mechanics don't know whether to fix the crane or use it for parts.
Oh yes, we finally found that fine china shipment in this other casualty container!
