OOCL has also ordered fleet management software for the AGVs and a battery changing station for use in the company\u2019s new Long Beach Container Terminal (LBCT), which is currently being constructed.<\/p>\n
The order is the first for AGVs and associated equipment that has ever been placed outside Europe and marks the introduction of Terex Gottwald automated container handling solutions in the USA.<\/p>\n
Each AGV has a capacity of 70 tonnes and can transfer all standard ISO containers from ship to shore cranes to the yard, or vice versa. Terex says the emission free battery vehicles exceed the Port of Long Beach\u2019s requirements by avoiding CO2, Nox and particle emissions.<\/p>\n
The battery changing station incorporates a pair of storage and retrieval machines operating on a single rail, allowing the batteries if two AGVs to be swapped out simultaneously and efficiently. The unit allows the 11 tonne cell packs to be changed fully automatically.<\/p>\n
The first batch of AGVs will be delivered to Long Beach in 2014. The remaining vehicles will be delivered to the terminal over the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
