The intermodal handling equipment engineered and designed by Cargotec is widely utilized all over the world. By definition, an intermodal terminal is a link between railway and seaport or between road and railway. Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
One of the most common equipments utilized in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their overall flexibility and extreme speed. Two or one rail track could be accessed from the side. What's more, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders can be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are ideal for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machine could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. In addition, containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If lots of railcars are handled systematically, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are commonly utilized in large rail operations chosen because several tracks could be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily using cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers could be utilized on railcars when handling containers. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard must be located near the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Handling containers by utilizing reach stackers is amongst the most flexible and best solutions for multi-purpose terminals and small and medium sized ports. Reach stacker technology which offers exceptional performance advantages while reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the best kind of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF models are amongst the best reach stackers ever built. They are known for their remarkable performance known in the industry. They have a computer control system which helps prevent gearbox and engine damage as well as reducing the fuel use. These units provide smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and a range of models. Combinations consist of combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
