Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are used all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between railways and roads or seaports and railways. The company Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are one of the most common machinery utilized in intermodal operations as they offer great flexibility and speed. Two or one rail track are capable of being accessed from the side. What's more, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders can be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This machinery could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Additionally, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When many railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are commonly used in big rail operations chosen since 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 utilized on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard should be situated within a short distance to 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 that provides exceptional performance advantages while reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the most brilliant kind of investment.
Some of the best reach stackers ever made are the Cargotec Kalmar DRF models. They are among the most innovative and carry a solid reputation in the business, being known for their great performance. They have a computer control system that reduces fuel consumption and helps prevent engine and gearbox damage. These models provide smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and a range of units. Combinations comprise combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
