Cargotec's intermodal handling machinery are used all over the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between railways and roads or railways and seaports. Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
One of the most popular machines utilized in intermodal operations are reach stackers. This is because of their overall flexibility and extreme speed. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. Furthermore, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders could be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are usually the ideal choice for handling trailers or containers on railcars. About up to 4 rail tracks could be simultaneously covered. In addition, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are really effective.
Usually utilized in huge rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen because several tracks can be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated with 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 located in close proximity to 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 small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that provides excellent performance advantages while lessening overall lifecycle expenses is the best kind of investment.
