Cargotec's intermodal handling equipments are utilized all over the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between roads and railways or seaports and railways. The company Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Amongst the most common machinery utilized in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is due to their extreme speed and overall flexibility. 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 ideal for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machine can approximately 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 really effective.
RMG cranes are commonly used in big rail operations chosen since 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 normally utilized. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard should be located near the main container yard in order for things to 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 which provides exceptional performance benefits whilst reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the best kind of investment.
