Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are utilized all around 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 equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Among the most popular machinery used 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. Also, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders can be used 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 handled systematically, RTG cranes are really effective.
Usually utilized in huge rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen since several tracks can be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily using cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
Straddle carriers can be utilized on railcars when handling containers. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard must be situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Handling containers by utilizing reach stackers is among the most flexible and best solutions for multi-purpose terminals and medium and small sized ports. Reach stacker technology that provides excellent performance advantages whilst lessening overall lifecycle expenses is the most brilliant kind of investment.
