Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are utilized all around the world. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between roads and railways or railways and seaports. Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
One of the most popular machines used in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their extreme speed and overall flexibility. Two or one rail track can be accessed from the side. Moreover, lift trucks that 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 approximately 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Additionally, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If lots of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are commonly used in big rail operations chosen because several tracks are able to be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are usually used. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard must be situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Handling containers by utilizing reach stackers is among the most flexible and best solutions for multi-purpose terminals and medium and small sized ports. Reach stacker technology that offers superb performance benefits while reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the most excellent type of investment.
