Cargotec's intermodal handling equipments are used all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between roads and railways or railways and seaports. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Among the most popular equipments used in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their overall flexibility and extreme speed. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. Furthermore, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders can be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This machinery can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Furthermore, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Commonly used in huge rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen since several tracks are able to be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily with cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
Straddle carriers are able to be utilized on railcars in handling containers. 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 can remain economical.
Reach stackers are amongst the best and most flexible solutions for handling containers on medium and small sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that provides superb performance benefits while lessening overall lifecycle expenses is the most brilliant type of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF models are some of the best reach stackers ever made. They are known for their remarkable performance known in the industry. They have a computer control system that reduces fuel consumption and helps prevent gearbox and engine damage. These units provide smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, along with low emission levels. They are available in a range of options and various models. Combinations consist of combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
