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 railways and seaports. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are amongst the most popular machinery used in intermodal operations because they offer excellent flexibility and speed. One or two rail tracks could be accessed from the side. What's more, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders are able to be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are often the best choice for handling containers or trailers on railcars. Roughly up to 4 rail tracks are able to be simultaneously covered. Additionally, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are really effective.
Usually used in large rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen since several tracks could be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily using cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers can be utilized on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard should be situated in close proximity 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 small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which offers excellent performance benefits whilst reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the best kind of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF units are some of the best reach stackers ever built. They are known for their remarkable performance known in the industry. They have a computer control system which helps prevent engine and gearbox damage and reducing the fuel consumption.
