Cargotec's intermodal handling equipments are used all over the world. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between roads and railways or seaports and railways. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Among the most popular equipments utilized in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is because of their overall flexibility and extreme speed. Two or one rail track are capable of being accessed from the side. As well, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders are able to be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machinery can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Additionally, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If 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 simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily with cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers can be utilized on railcars when handling containers. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard needs to be situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to 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 offers superb performance benefits while reducing overall lifecycle costs is the best kind of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF models are among the best reach stackers ever built. They are known for their remarkable performance known throughout the industry. They have a computer control system which helps prevent engine and gearbox damage and reducing the fuel use. These models provide smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, along with low emission levels. They are available in a range of options and a range of units. Combinations consist of combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
