Cargotec's intermodal handling machinery are utilized all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between roads and railways or seaports and railways. Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Amongst the most common equipments utilized in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their extreme speed and overall flexibility. Two or one rail track are capable of being 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 great for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machinery can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Moreover, containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Normally utilized in big rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen because several tracks can be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily with cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are commonly used. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard must be located near the main container yard so that things could 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 which offers excellent performance advantages while reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the best type of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF models are amongst the best reach stackers ever built. They are known for their great performance known in the industry. They have a computer control system that helps prevent gearbox and engine damage as well as lessening the fuel use. These units offer smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, along with low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and different models. Combinations comprise top-lift and combi-lift configurations.
