Gottwald looks to logistics
Gottwald has been promoting its range as an integral part of the intermodal process. ” In view of the trend towards more efficient supply chains and the increasing combination of rail, road and water transport that does not only improve access to markets, but also brings relief to over-stretched road systems and improves the sustainability of the transport systems, ” says sales director, Giuseppe Di Lisa, ” Gottwald Port Technology has developed the WSG Wide Span Gantries that enable direct transhipment of goods at the interfaces of different modes of transport, ” Dirk Kiessling, Gottwald’ s future ceo, adds: ” The ability of a port or terminal to attract and serve international traffic depends increasingly on the quality of its competitive logistics systems that can effectively interlink different logistic processes according to customer’ s changing needs.
The curve-shaped telescopic boom offers so far unforeseen handling possibilities, says Liebherr. “In 4-high by 3-wide block stacks, LRS 645 removes the top container in the second row from either side without any necessary repositioning of the top container in the first row. In a similar example – with 3-high by 3-wide block stacks – the reachstacker driver manages to remove the top container in the third row without moving any of the boxes in the first or second row.
Because all Gottwald products are perfectly matched to one another, they offer many opportunities for terminal operators to develop existing and new terminals in stages as new possibilities arise for expanding their cargo handling, storage and transport activities.”
