CSX Corporation is one of the leading transportation suppliers in the US, its transportation network covers 23 states. The company's rail and intermodal businesses provide rail-based transportation services including traditional rail service and the transport of intermodal containers and trailers.
'With hundreds of Konecranes RTGs delivered and success stories from other intermodal terminals we're very pleased to start cooperating with CSX,' says Jost D'mmgen, Sales Manager, Port Cranes, Konecranes. 'Konecranes advanced RTGs will offer our customer lower costs, and increased productivity.'
The ordered RTGs will be used for stacking and moving containers from rail to truck and vice versa. The cranes will be 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, thus improving safety and increasing productivity. The RTGs will have a lifting capacity of 50 tons and will be able to stack one over three containers high.
