Novel container tippers
Elme of Sweden has developed a unique method of using a Reach Stacker to tip shipping containers to empty them.
Elme of Sweden has developed a unique method of using a Reach Stacker to tip shipping containers to empty them. Distributed by Eurolift, the spreader can be supplied in two ways; as a telescopic model 817 to handle both 20ft and 40ft containers, or alternatively a 327 fixed 20ft model with a capacity of up to 45t. The method itself, is said to be suitable for any bulk materials which flow, including minerals, bales of waste, grain, fertiliser and coffee beans. The spreader can tilt up to 45°, if necessary, depending on the repose angle of the contents.
 
Intermodal transportation: The next wave?
 Holidays are almost over, for those lucky enough to go on vacation. I spent my time away from the sea, and well above sea level. Just for reassurance. As you might know, the majority of Dutch grounds are below sea level (about 65%), and we keep dry feet by pumping water. Without that, we would build our sandcastle around "Amersfoort at the Sea" (a city some 80km inland).
However, spending time in the Alps, some 800m above sea level, my rectangular box driven mind did not come to a complete standstill, wondering about hinterland transportation.
