Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are used all over the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between roads and railways or seaports and railways. Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Amongst the most popular machinery utilized in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their overall flexibility and extreme speed. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. Also, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders could be used 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. Moreover, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When many railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are really effective.
RMG cranes are commonly used in big rail operations chosen because several tracks could be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are normally utilized. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard should be situated in close proximity to the main container yard so that things can remain economical.
Reach stackers are among the best and most flexible solutions for handling containers on small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which provides superb performance benefits whilst reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the most brilliant kind of investment.
Amongst the best reach stackers ever made are the Cargotec Kalmar DRF models. They are among the most innovative and carry a solid reputation within the business, being known for their remarkable performance. They have a computer control system which reduces fuel consumption and helps prevent gearbox and engine damage. These units provide smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a range of options and various units. Combinations consist of top-lift and combi-lift configurations.
