Cargotec's intermodal handling machines are utilized all around the globe. An intermodal terminal by definition, is a link between roads and railways or railways and seaports. The company Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for equipment to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Reach stackers are among the most common machines used in intermodal operations since they offer excellent speed and flexibility. One or two rail tracks could be accessed from the side. Furthermore, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders can be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling containers, trailers, and on railcars. This machinery can approximately 4 trail tracks simultaneously. In addition, containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. When many railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Usually utilized in big rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen since several tracks could be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily with cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers can be used on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard must be situated within a short distance to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
