Only on the demand of theĬustomer terminal tractors have a rotating seat. The fifth wheel of terminal tractors only have a capacity of 25 – 35,0 tons and can tow between 100 – 120,0 tons. Not have to perform such a heavy work as roro tractors. Terminal tractors / terminal tugmaster in general have traction 4x2 as these machines do RoRo tractors are equipped with a rotating seat 180° and the 5 th wheel in general has a capacity of 35- 45,0 tons and can Rolltrailers onto the ships and unload the ships as well. RoRo tractors / roro tugmaster in general have traction 4x4 in order to move cargo on

Tractors / port tugmaster are mainly used in ports, port terminals as well as inland terminals and on the premises of forwarding agents. Roro tractors / roro tugmaster and terminal tractors / terminal tugmaster also called port Tugmaster, tractors 4x4 / technical information and background information on terminal tractors, tractors 4x2, terminal tugmaster Technical information and background information on roro tractors, roro Other producers of reachstackers are SMV Konecranes, Hyster, Caterpillar container-handler, Linde Flurfördergeräte, CVS Ferrari Belotti andįantuzzi, the company PPM Terex , TCM from Japan and finally two Finnish companies VALMET and SISU which have been overtaken by Kalmar. Kalmar which belongs to the Partek Group. The worlds biggest producer of reachstackers and containerhandlers is the Swedish company They are also faster and moreįlexible than forklift trucks used in intermodal operations and have significant advantages over similar capacity forklifts in second and third row stacking in container parks. They are mainly used by intermodal container operators and railway companies because theyĪre easier to maintain and cheaper to operate than existing alternatives in intermodal operations - rail-mounted or rubber-tyred gantry cranes and straddle-carriers. Like this rail operators can increase the container throughput and reduce costs through an improvement in terminal efficiency This significantly reduces the time needed to load and discharge containers in most rail With this extra attachment and with its long wheelbase it can lift and lower ladenĬontainers together with the trailer from / onto wagons / railcars on the second rail lift. InĬompare to the other type of reachstackers it has four extra arms fitted to the spreader called piggy-back. Modern reach stackers have an elevating cabine in order to improveĪ special type of reachstacker is the intermodal reachstacker / combi reachstacker.

Lifting operations in ports, terminal and stevedoring operations such as container handling.Īs reachstackers offer a more efficient and economical solution than any other type ofĬontainer-handling machine and don´t take up too much space they are widely in operation in many ports and container terminals.
DEFINE LIFING DRIVER
With the rotating spreader the driver can put the container in the right position.

It canĮven load and unload containers in the second and in the third row.
DEFINE LIFING FULL
Similar to a crane but at the end of the boom it has a spreader and this way it can lift 20´- 40´ empty and full containers from 10 to 45 tons up to 6 containers high in the first row. Lifting empty containers and reach stacker for lifing laden containersĪ reachstacker is a container-handling machine / container lifter / container crane The Midlifing logo is adapted from an original image by H.L.I.T: (CC BY 2.Technical information and background information on reachstacker for Get in touch with Lee and Simon at or on Instagram.
