Kalmar | Automated Shuttle Carriers for Ports Container Handling by Kalmar
Kalmar shuttle carriers improve your terminal throughput by decoupling ship-to-shore and yard operations. They are the ideal horizontal transportation system for terminals designed around automated stacking cranes (ASCs) or rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs). A shuttle carrier system speeds up your operations considerably because container handover doesn’t require a crane and a carrier to be present at the same time.
