Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are utilized all over the world. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between roads and railways or seaports and railways. The company Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are one of the most common equipment used in intermodal operations as they provide excellent speed and flexibility. One or two rail tracks could be accessed from the side. Additionally, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders are able to be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are ideal for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This machinery can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Moreover, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Commonly used in huge rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen since several tracks can be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated with cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are normally used. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard needs to be located within a short distance to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Reach stackers are among the most flexible and best solutions for handling containers on medium and small sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which provides excellent performance benefits whilst reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the most excellent kind of investment.
Amongst the best reach stackers ever made are the Cargotec Kalmar DRF models. They are amongst the most innovative and carry a solid reputation in the business, being known for their remarkable performance. They have a computer control system which lessens fuel consumption and helps prevent engine and gearbox damage. These units offer smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, along with low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and a range of units. Combinations include top-lift and combi-lift configurations.
