Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are used all around the world. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between roads and railways or railways and seaports. Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Reach stackers are among the most common machinery utilized in intermodal operations as they provide excellent speed and flexibility. Two or one rail track 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 ideal for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machinery could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Additionally, 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 most effective.
RMG cranes are usually utilized in large rail operations chosen because several tracks could be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily using cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers could be used on railcars when handling containers. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard has to be situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Reach stackers are amongst the most flexible and best solutions for handling containers on medium and small sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology which offers excellent performance advantages while reducing overall lifecycle costs is the best type of investment.
The Cargotec Kalmar DRF units are some of the best reach stackers ever built. They are known for their great performance known in the industry. They have a computer control system which lessens fuel consumption and helps prevent gearbox and engine damage. These units provide smooth drive controls and automatic gear shift, as well as low emission levels. They are available in a variety of options and a variety of models. Combinations include combi-lift and top-lift configurations.
