The intermodal handling machine designed and engineered by Cargotec is widely utilized 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 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 overall flexibility and extreme speed. One or two rail tracks can be accessed from the side. What's more, lift trucks that 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 could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Additionally, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When high numbers of railcars are handled systematically, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are normally utilized in big rail operations chosen as several tracks can be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily using cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are usually utilized. 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 in order for things to remain economical.
Reach stackers are amongst the most flexible and best solutions for handling containers on small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that provides exceptional performance benefits whilst reducing 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 great performance known in the business. They have a computer control system which lessens fuel consumption and helps prevent engine and gearbox damage. These models offer smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, along with low emission levels. They are available in a range of options and different models. Combinations include top-lift and combi-lift configurations.
