Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are used all around the world. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between roads and railways or railways and seaports. The company Cargotech offers 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. Two or one rail track could 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 ideal for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This equipment could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Furthermore, containers are also able to be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are usually used in big rail operations chosen since several tracks are able to be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily with cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers are able to be utilized on railcars when 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 in order for things to 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 provides excellent performance benefits whilst reducing overall lifecycle costs is the most excellent type of investment.
