RTGs shine where <strong>flexibility<\/strong> and layout changes are frequent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RTG vs. straddle carrier:<\/strong> straddles handle transport and stacking in one machine, but RTGs can offer higher stacking density in a given footprint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RTG vs. reach stacker:<\/strong> reach stackers are agile and cost\u2011effective for smaller volumes. RTGs deliver lower operating cost per move at scale and higher stacking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Terminals often adopt a mixed fleet.
