Reach stackers are among the most common equipment utilized in intermodal operations since they offer excellent flexibility and speed. Two or one rail track are capable of being accessed from the side. Furthermore, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders can be utilized for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are great for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This machine can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. Moreover, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
RMG cranes are normally used in huge rail operations chosen because several tracks could be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of being separated easily utilizing cantilevered RMG cranes for extra efficiency.
Straddle carriers are able to be used on railcars when handling containers. In order for this operation to be a success, an on-dock rail yard should be situated in close proximity to the main container yard so that things can remain economical.
Reach stackers are amongst the most flexible and best solutions for handling containers on small and medium sized ports and for multi-purpose terminals. Reach stacker technology that provides superb performance benefits whilst lessening overall lifecycle expenses is the best type of investment.
