The intermodal handling machine designed and engineered by the company Cargotec is commonly used all around the world. By definition, an intermodal terminal refers to a link between railway and seaport or between road and railway. Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Reach stackers are one of the most common machinery utilized in intermodal operations as they provide excellent flexibility and speed. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. Moreover, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders are able to be utilized 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. In addition, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When many railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Normally utilized in big rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen because several tracks are able to be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated utilizing 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 located in close proximity to the main container yard so that things could remain economical.
Reach stackers are amongst the best and most flexible solutions for handling containers on small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which provides exceptional performance benefits while lessening overall lifecycle costs is the most excellent type of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF models are among the best reach stackers ever made. They are known for their remarkable performance known in the business. They have a computer control system that helps prevent gearbox and engine damage and lessening the fuel consumption. These units offer smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, along with low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and a range of units. Combinations comprise combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
