Kalmar Shuttle Carrier® more moves, less equipment

Kalmar Shuttle Carrier fastest way between ship and stack THE BEST HORIZONTAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR: • ASC terminals • RTG terminals • RS terminals TRANSPORTATION LANDSIDE / INSIDE TERMINAL • CFS (container filling station) ADVANTAGES: • Natural buffering • Decoupling of cycles • Better ship-to-shore (STS) & ASC productivity • No waiting times • Increased productivity • Less traffic on the quay • Enhanced MHC (mobile harbour crane) productivity • MHCs can land the containers fast and in a random pattern • No waiting for horizontal transport equipment • No need for exact positioning •...

Modular design for excellent versatility Our 7th generation Shuttle Carrier is an integrated part of the Kalmar Straddle Carrier range. The Shuttle Carrier has been developed using a large number of the proven components and technical solutions used in the Straddle Carrier. Uniformity of spare parts means that our excellent worldwide service network is able to support the Shuttle Carrier in the same way as our worldwide straddle fleet. SHC • Spreader range including a lifting beam design • Offers excellent performance like SHC, but lower operating and maintenance costs • Hydraulic system...

Spreaders Our R&D department is continuously working to improve all aspects of Shuttle Carriers, including spreaders. Kalmar heavy duty spreaders are based on 30 years R&D. They incorporate features such as T-beams with longitudinal locking and hard wiring for all the spreader’s electric functions. Spreader safety functions are an integrated part of the Shuttle Carrier’s PLC-controlled safety system and ensure safe and fast container handling. SINGLE LIFT SPREADER Our basic spreader is a single-lift 20’ – 40’ spreader with fully floating twist locks. TWIN LIFT SPREADER Our twin lift...

Shuttle Carrier® Applications Operating with a Shuttle Carrier enables the mobile harbour crane to place the container on the ground, thus eliminating the slow process of positioning containers on trailers. Shuttle Carriers reduce the amount of transport equipment necessary in rubber tyred gantry (RTG) crane operations and maximise the productivity of ship-to-shore cranes by eliminating waiting times. Kalmar Shuttle Carriers are ideal for feeding automatic stacking cranes because they are both able to work independently of each other, increasing operating efficiency. The Shuttle Carrier can...
