The intermodal handling equipment engineered and designed by the company Cargotec is commonly utilized all around the world. By definition, an intermodal terminal refers to a link between seaport and railway or between road and railway. The company Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Reach stackers are among the most common machines used in intermodal operations because they offer great flexibility and speed. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. Furthermore, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders are able to be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This equipment can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Furthermore, containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When high numbers of railcars are handled systematically, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are commonly utilized in huge rail operations chosen as several tracks could be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated using cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers could be used on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard should be located in close proximity to the main container yard so that things can remain economical.
Reach stackers are among the most flexible and best solutions for handling containers on small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which offers excellent performance advantages whilst reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the most excellent type of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF models are among the best reach stackers ever made. They are known for their remarkable performance known in the industry. They have a computer control system that lessens fuel consumption and helps prevent engine and gearbox damage. These models offer smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, along with low emission levels. They are available in a range of options and different models. Combinations include combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
