The intermodal handling machine engineered and designed by the company Cargotec is commonly utilized all around the world. By definition, an intermodal terminal refers to a link between railway and seaport or between railway and road. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
One of the most popular machinery utilized in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is because of their overall flexibility and extreme speed. Two or one rail track can be accessed from the side. Furthermore, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders are able to be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are ideal for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This equipment could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. In addition, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When lots of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are really effective.
RMG cranes are commonly used in big rail operations chosen as several tracks are able to be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated using cantilevered RMG cranes for more 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 situated near 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 medium and small sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that offers exceptional performance benefits whilst lessening overall lifecycle costs is the most brilliant type of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF units are some of the best reach stackers ever built. They are known for their great performance known throughout the industry. They have a computer control system which helps prevent gearbox and engine damage and lessening the fuel consumption. These units provide smooth automatic gear shift and driver controls, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a range of options and different models. Combinations comprise combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
