Ordered in August, the cranes will be delivered to two facilities operated by CSX: three RTGs will be installed in Valleyfield, Canada, and one in Chicago. All four cranes will be delivered before October 2014.
CSX Intermodal Terminals, Inc., a subsidiary of CSX Corporation in Jacksonville, Florida provides rail-to-truck and truck-to-rail transloading services. It operates more than 30 terminals across the eastern United States and Canada.
The RTGs have and will be used for stacking and moving containers from rail to truck and vice versa. The cranes are equipped with the latest DGPS-assisted technology for container yards. This includes the autosteering feature, which keeps the crane on a pre-programmed straight driving path, improving safety and increasing productivity. The RTGs have a lifting capacity of 50 tonnes and can stack one-over-three containers high.
