Cargotec's intermodal handling equipments are utilized 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.
Among the most common machinery used in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their overall flexibility and extreme speed. Two or one rail track can be accessed from the side. Moreover, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders can be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are normally the ideal alternative for handling containers or trailers on railcars. Around up to 4 rail tracks could be simultaneously covered. In addition, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If a lot of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are normally used in large rail operations chosen since several tracks are able to be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
Straddle carriers are able to be used on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard has to be situated near the main container yard so that things can remain economical.
Handling containers by using reach stackers is amongst the most flexible and best solutions for multi-purpose terminals and small and medium sized ports. Reach stacker technology which offers superb performance benefits whilst reducing overall lifecycle costs is the most brilliant kind of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF units are among the best reach stackers ever made. They are known for their remarkable performance known throughout the industry. They have a computer control system that reduces fuel consumption and helps prevent engine and gearbox damage. These models provide smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, along with low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and a variety of models. Combinations comprise combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
