Cargotec's intermodal handling equipments are used all over 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 equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are one of the most common machinery utilized in intermodal operations because they provide great speed and flexibility. Two or one rail track could be accessed from the side. Additionally, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders could be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are ideal for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machinery can approximately 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Furthermore, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If many railcars are handled systematically, RTG cranes are really effective.
RMG cranes are normally utilized in huge rail operations chosen because several tracks could be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily with 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 should be located in close proximity to the main container yard so that things could remain economical.
Reach stackers are among the most flexible and best solutions for handling containers on small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that offers excellent performance benefits while lessening overall lifecycle expenses is the most excellent type of investment.
Amongst the best reach stackers ever built are the Cargotec Kalmar DRF units. They are amongst the most innovative and carry a solid reputation within the industry, being known for their remarkable performance. They have a computer control system that reduces fuel consumption and helps prevent engine and gearbox damage. These models offer smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and different units. Combinations include combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
