Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are utilized all over the world. An intermodal terminal by definition, refers to a link between railways and roads or railways and seaports. The company Cargotech offers innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle swap bodies, containers or trailers.
Reach stackers are amongst the most common machinery used in intermodal operations because they provide excellent flexibility and speed. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. Also, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders can be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This equipment could roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Moreover, containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If high numbers of railcars are handled systematically, RTG cranes are most effective.
Commonly utilized in big rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen because several tracks can be simultaneously covered. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
On handling container railcars, straddle carriers are normally used. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard must be located near the main container yard so that things can remain economical.
Handling containers by utilizing reach stackers is amongst the most flexible and best solutions for multi-purpose terminals and small and medium sized ports. Reach stacker technology which provides superb performance advantages while lessening overall lifecycle costs is the best type of investment.
