The company Cargotech provides innovative solutions, whether there is a need for machine to handle trailers, swap bodies or containers.
Reach stackers are among the most popular machines utilized in intermodal operations since they offer great speed and flexibility. Two or one rail track could be accessed from the side. Moreover, lift trucks that have extended gantry spreaders are able to be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This equipment could 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 really effective.
RMG cranes are commonly utilized in big rail operations chosen since several tracks could be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated using cantilevered RMG cranes for more efficiency.
Straddle carriers are able to be used on railcars in handling containers. In order for this operation to be successful, an on-dock rail yard must be located near the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
Handling containers by using reach stackers is among the most flexible and best solutions for multi-purpose terminals and medium and small sized ports. Reach stacker technology that provides exceptional performance benefits while lessening overall lifecycle expenses is the most excellent kind of investment.
