Combilift develops intermodal straddle carrier

Combilift has developed an intermodal straddle carrier, aimed primarily for use at inland container terminals which typically handle lower volumes of containers compared to the main sea ports, but still need a machine capable of doing the same task.

The Combi- IMSC Intermodal Straddle Carrier is designed to offer a cost-effective customisable solution for midsized intermodal terminals, where only a few trains per day may need to be unloaded, and where margins can be tight.

Conventional port straddle carriers are typically higher and wider and are designed to work at speed to quickly turn around large volumes of containers.
