Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are used all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between roads and railways or seaports and railways. The company Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are among the most popular machines used in intermodal operations as they offer great speed and flexibility. 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 used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are ideal for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machinery could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Moreover, containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When many railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are really effective.
Commonly used in big rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen because several tracks can be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily utilizing 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 so that things could remain economical.
Reach stackers are amongst the best and most flexible solutions for handling containers on small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that provides exceptional performance benefits while reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the best type of investment.
Amongst 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 industry, being known for their great performance. They have a computer control system which reduces fuel consumption and helps prevent gearbox and engine damage. These units provide smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and different models. Combinations include combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
