The intermodal handling equipment designed and engineered by the company Cargotec is commonly used all around the globe. By definition, an intermodal terminal refers to a link between seaport and railway or between railway and road. Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Reach stackers are among the most common machines utilized in intermodal operations as they provide excellent speed and flexibility. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. Additionally, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders are able to be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are ideal for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This equipment can approximately 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Additionally, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are commonly utilized in big 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.
Straddle carriers are able to be utilized on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard needs to be situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Reach stackers are amongst the most flexible and best solutions for handling containers on medium and small sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that provides exceptional performance advantages while reducing overall lifecycle costs is the best kind of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF units are amongst the best reach stackers ever made. They are known for their great performance known in the business. They have a computer control system that reduces fuel consumption and helps prevent engine and gearbox damage. These models provide smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and different units.
