Inland container terminals face many handling challenges, with increasingly diverse To support efficient intralogistics processes in ports and terminals, Hyster Europe reveals practical solutions for overcoming ten of the most common issues facing inland terminals.<\/p>\n

1. Handling containers on the second rail<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor inland terminals receiving and distributing containers on the rail network, picking from the second rail can be challenging when there is a high cube container on a railcar in the first rail position,\u201d<\/em> explains Mark Nailer, Industry Manager for Hyster Europe. \u201cHowever, by giving direct visibility of 2nd rail containers and swap bodies we can help to reduce damage and provide greater efficiency.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Handling equipment manufacturer Hyster has recently developed a new solution involving a \u2018hinged\u2019 elevating cabin for the Hyster\u00ae RS46 ReachStacker which provides enhanced second rail visibility. This helps to boost efficiency, maintain timetables and make operations more productive with a lower cost for each container movement.<\/p>\n

2. Moving Empty Container Handlers in height restricted areas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bridges or low hanging areas are commonly found in inland terminals and these can restrict the movement of an Empty Container Handler where a typical mast height is more than 10m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that it is necessary for inland terminals to have the flexibility to move empty container handlers through restricted height areas,<\/em>\u201d says Mark. \u201cWith a closed height of just <\/em>5.4m we have developed a new 3-stage, tilt back mast option for the Hyster\u00ae Empty Container Handler that provides this flexibility and is still capable of lifting containers up to 18.8m.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

3. High noise levels from container engagements<\/strong><\/p>\n

While container handling truck engines are quieter than ever before, one of the loudest actions in a container yard is the spreader landing on the empty container.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith many inland terminals near to residential areas, high noise levels can result in reduced operating hours so as not to cause a disturbance,\u201d<\/em> says Mark. \u201cWith reduced hours, productivity and efficiency can be seriously impacted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Hyster Europe has recently introduced a soft-landing system to lower the sound emissions enabling many of its customers to negotiate longer working hours. By controlling the speed of the spreader landing the sound of container engagement can be minimised, further supported by additional wear pads at container contact points.<\/p>\n

4. Poor double reefer handling efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now, handling reefers with the refrigeration unit on the same side has caused an offset load. This means that the Empty Container Handler operator must frequently double handle containers with the units at opposite ends or handle each reefer on its own.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo meet customer requirements, an important new Hyster\u00ae product for inland terminals has been developed to enable double handling capabilities for 40ft reefers with the refrigeration units on the same side,\u201d<\/em> explains Mark. The new Hyster\u00ae H11XM-ECD8 also has a capacity of up to 11-tonnes offering flexibility and productivity advantages, supporting terminals in reducing the cost per container moved.<\/p>\n

5. Difficult access for repair, inspection and cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Workshops for container inspection, maintenance and repair are commonplace in an inland terminal application. However, getting suitable access to the container in the right position to administer these tasks can be challenging.<\/p>\n

Container workshops now have the option to conduct repairs and maintenance easily and efficiently by using a heavy-duty Hyster\u00ae lift truck with a special container rotator attachment. This means that even a 40ft container can be moved into positions that make driving it into the workshop easier. By rotating the container lengthwise, it can be moved into a workshop even if there is not a wide doorway. The container rotator attachment can also simplify repairs by making containers accessible to standing repair engineers from many angles.<\/p>\n

6. Switching between cargo types efficiently<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inland terminals don\u2019t just handle containers, quite often stevedoring operations are also taking place.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving handling equipment with a front-end attachment that can be easily changed makes sense to avoid doubling up on trucks that otherwise will remain idle for long periods,\u201d<\/em> says Mark, explaining that a Hyster\u00ae ReachStacker with the Multi Tool-Changer option allows operators to simply and conveniently switch from handling containers to cargo trailers, and on to metal coils with a C-hook.<\/p>\n

For other bulky loads from a river or canal quayside, operators may need to switch from handling paper reels, to timber, to metal loads and so on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe updated Hyster\u00ae H8-16XM lift trucks are designed to give exactly this flexibility,\u201d<\/em> says Mark. \u201cThere are quick disconnect hydraulic couplings to switch between clamps, forks and other attachments, with optimal visibility for the driver to the forks and load. For bulky loads prone to damage such as paper reels, the return to set tilt feature puts the reel down flat, reducing edge damage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

7. Stuffing or unloading containers with heavy, awkward loads<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most convenient and efficient way to transport heavy or awkward loads out of a container is usually with a counterbalance lift truck. However, this often proves challenging in port-side intralogistics applications due to the restricted height of the container.<\/p>\n

To help overcome this, lower cabin height options are now available for Hyster\u00ae lift trucks handling loads up to 9-tonnes providing good visibility of a load and the operating area. Optional cameras and lighting can also be used further assist with quick and accurate operation inside containers or lorries.<\/p>\n

8. Transfer time to the warehouse or on to transport<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speed and efficiency is time critical in port-side intralogistics operations, particularly where cross-docking involves unloading and loading curtain trailers. A 3-3.5T lift truck from the reliable Hyster\u00ae Fortens\u00ae range is ideal for these inland terminal activities.<\/p>\n

Palletised goods can also be transferred more quickly by using multi pallet handler attachments. This method can save considerable time and reduce the number of trucks and drivers needed in certain applications. For example, most beverage loads are palletised at about 1 tonne and often multi pallet handlers (handling 2, 4 or 6 pallets) can be used.<\/p>\n

9. Tight cross-docking turnaround times<\/strong><\/p>\n

A key factor for efficiency in inland logistics operations is keeping lorries on the road. Cross-docking operations help facilitate rapid turnaround but can present challenges for drivers working against the clock. Fast, efficient operations are essential.<\/p>\n

Ideally suited to unloading a lorry at a warehouse dock, the Hyster\u00ae RP2.0-2.5N Rider Pallet Truck can also be fitted with double length forks to help reduce cycle times. Rather than using a stand-on platform truck, for comfortable, efficient operation, the operator can sit or lean at the push of a button.<\/p>\n

Likewise, a platform pallet truck, such as the Hyster\u00ae P2.0S, can optimise vehicle loading and unloading operations. A compact chassis is key for manoeuvrability in busy loading bays, while speed control, the steering system and increased turning ratio of the tiller arm support efficient pallet transportation rates over short or long distances.<\/p>\n

10. Effective asset management<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cInland terminals are often complex, multi-faceted operations with large fleets to manage,\u201d<\/em> says Mark. \u201cTo control costs and improve efficiency in inland terminals, fleet management <\/em>and telematics systems can be used to great effect.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For example, with the Hyster Tracker system it is possible to increase driver accountability, reduce impact damage and downtime and better manage under or over utilised assets.<\/p>\n

Throughout June and July 2018, the Hyster\u00ae Rhine Tour took place to show the capabilities of Hyster\u00ae trucks in addressing the specific challenges of inland terminals. A selection of Hyster\u00ae equipment was transported on a barge to different events along the River Rhine, from the Netherlands, to France, Switzerland and Germany.<\/p>\n
