Cargotec's intermodal handling machinery are utilized all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between roads and railways or railways and seaports. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are among the most common machines used in intermodal operations because they offer great speed and flexibility. Two or one rail track can be accessed from the side. As well, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders could be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are often the best choice for handling trailers or containers on railcars. Approximately up to 4 rail tracks could be simultaneously covered. Moreover, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are really effective.
RMG cranes are commonly used in huge rail operations chosen as several tracks could be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated with cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are normally utilized. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard has to be situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Handling containers by using reach stackers is amongst the most flexible and best solutions for multi-purpose terminals and small and medium sized ports. Reach stacker technology which provides exceptional performance advantages whilst lessening overall lifecycle expenses is the best kind of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF units are among the best reach stackers ever made. They are known for their remarkable performance known in the business.
