The intermodal handling equipment designed and engineered by Cargotec is commonly utilized all around the globe. By definition, an intermodal terminal is a link between seaport and railway or between railway and road. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Among the most popular machines used in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their overall flexibility and extreme speed. Two or one rail track are capable of being accessed from the side. Additionally, lift trucks that 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 can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. In addition, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If a lot of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Commonly used in large rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen as several tracks are able to be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers can 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.
Reach stackers are among the best and most flexible solutions for handling containers on medium and small sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which offers exceptional performance benefits whilst lessening overall lifecycle costs is the best kind 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 a variety of models. Combinations comprise top-lift and combi-lift configurations.
