The rail-mounted gantry crane system, compared to the tire-mounted gantry crane system, offers a greater span and higher stacking capacity for yard machinery. The rail-mounted gantry crane can stack up to 4-5 layers of containers and can span over 14 or more container rows. The rail-mounted gantry crane system is suitable for limited space sites with high container throughput, such as intermodal terminals.Shanghai to Dalian freight

Key advantages of the intermodal vehicle system.
(1) The intermodal truck performs multiple tasks (including self-collection, handling, stacking, and vehicle loading/unloading), reducing the types and quantities of machinery at the port, facilitating organization and management.
(2) The straddle carrier is agile and quick in positioning, requiring only that containers be unloaded at the quayside without precise alignment. The carrier then autonomously picks up and transports them, fully utilizing the efficiency of the quayside container handling crane.
(3) High mobility for both transportation and stacking, reducing operational steps.
(4) High utilization rate of the yard, requiring less area.Shanghai to Dalian freight

The primary drawbacks of the undercarriage vehicle system.
(1) There is a high demand for chassis vehicles with significant investment. During peak traffic periods, there may be interruptions in operations due to insufficient chassis vehicles.
(2) Not easily automated.
Undercarriage systems are primarily used in the initial stage of container terminal operations, especially at terminals with a high proportion of full container loads.
