Cargotec's intermodal handling equipments are used all over the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between railways and roads or seaports and railways. The company Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are one of the most common machinery utilized in intermodal operations because they provide great speed and flexibility. Two or one rail track are capable of being accessed from the side. What's more, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders are able to be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are usually the ideal option for handling trailers or containers on railcars. About up to 4 rail tracks can be simultaneously covered. Additionally, containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When high numbers of railcars are handled systematically, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are normally used in large rail operations chosen since several tracks could be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
Straddle carriers could be utilized on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard needs to be situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Reach stackers are among the best and most flexible solutions for handling containers on medium and small sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which offers superb performance benefits while lessening overall lifecycle costs is the most brilliant type of investment.
