Reach stackers are amongst the most common equipment used in intermodal operations as they provide great speed and flexibility. One or two rail tracks are capable of being accessed from the side. What's more, lift trucks which have extended gantry spreaders can be used for accessing the first rail.
RTG cranes are ideal for work on handling trailers, containers, and on railcars. This machine can roughly 4 trail tracks simultaneously. In addition, containers could be stored at the side of the rail tracks. If high numbers of railcars are systematically handled, RTG cranes are most effective.
Usually utilized in big rail operations, RMG cranes are chosen as several tracks can be covered simultaneously. Road traffic has the option of easily being separated using cantilevered RMG cranes for extra 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 situated in close proximity to the main container yard in order for things to remain economical.
