Intermodal Handling
Increasing Demand
There is an increasing demand to move
traffic from roads to rail, barge and other
transport means. This is due to various
environmental reasons, but also because
the existing road infrastructure can not
handle the increasing traffic. This means
that more intermodal terminals will be
developed in the future.
These terminals will require equipment
for handling of containers, trailers and swop
bodies. This equipment is needed for loading
and unloading of railcars and road trucks,
transportation and storage in the yard.
Terminal Development
Kalmar can assist customers when planning
new terminals and when improving the
efficiency of existing terminals. With their
wide customer base and product range
Main Products
Product
Application
Loading and unloading of railcars on first rail
Normal wheelbase
reachstackers
Long wheelbase
reachstackers
RTG cranes
RMG cranes
Straddle/shuttle
carriers
Transport
Stacking, loading and unloading of road trucks
Terminal tractors
Kalmars Port Optimizer simulation tool can be used to assist in designing the terminal.
Reachstackers
Main Data
Storage capacity is approximately 500 TEU per
hectare, based on 3-high stacking.
General
Rail Operation
Reachstackers load and unload railcars
and transport containers between the rail
and the yard. This concept reduces the
overall number of equipment required, as
there is no waiting between different types
of equipment. Approximately 20 metres
distance is required besides the rail for the
reachstackers to operate.
Products
Kalmars reachstacker range varies from
a 6 metre wheelbase to an 8 metre
wheelbase, depending on the required lifting
capacity at distance and if containers or
trailers are handled. Kalmar is the leading
reachstacker manufacturer in the world
and Kalmar ContChamp is the most popular
reachstacker model both in intermodal
terminals and ports.
Yard Cranes
Main Data
Storage capacity is approximately 1 000 TEU per
hectare, based on 4-high stacking.
General
Rail Operation
RTG or RMG cranes load and unload
railcars and terminal tractors transport
containers between the rail and the yard.
Reachstackers can also be used for shorter
distances.
Products
The Kalmar RTG crane range varies from 6+1
to 9+1 block size, with 1 over 4 or 1 over 5high stacking. One over 3 stacking height is
ideal for loading and unloading of railcars, if
no stacking is required.
Kalmar E-One RTG crane features a
low-emission diesel engine and is fitted
with electric trolley, wheel turning and
spreader. It contains fewer critical mechanical
components and therefore provides less
opportunity for mechanical failures. The E-One
features an impressive service interval of up to
1,000 hours for both the crane and the engine.
Also a zero emission RTG crane with
no diesel engine is available, which should
be optimal for intermodal operation where
frequent change of blocks is normally not
required. Kalmars Smartrail automatic
steering and container positioning verification
system both increases productivity and helps
to avoid misplaced containers.
