Cargotec's intermodal handling machinery are utilized all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between railways and roads or railways and seaports. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are amongst the most popular equipment used in intermodal operations because they offer excellent speed and flexibility. Two or one rail track can be accessed from the side. As well, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders can be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machine could approximately 4 trail tracks simultaneously. In addition, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If a lot of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Commonly used in huge rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen as several tracks can be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily using cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are commonly used. 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 so that things can remain economical.
Handling containers by using reach stackers is among the best and most flexible solutions for multi-purpose terminals and small and medium sized ports. Reach stacker technology which offers excellent performance advantages whilst lessening overall lifecycle costs is the most brilliant kind of investment.
