Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are used all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between roads and railways or railways and seaports. The company Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Among the most popular 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. As well, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders could be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This equipment can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. In addition, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When many railcars are handled systematically, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are usually used in big rail operations chosen since several tracks are able to be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for more 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 should be situated near 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 exceptional performance benefits whilst reducing overall lifecycle expenses is the most excellent type of investment.
