Voorontwerp van een specifiek terminalwerktuig voor de overslag van
ACTS-containers.
Masters thesis,
Report 92.3.TT.3013, Transport Technology.
This study describes a preliminary design for a vehicle suitable for the
transshipment of (non-ISO) ACTS-containers from railcar to vehicle and vice
versa.
It is derived from ACTS, a multi-medium transport system for combined rail/road
transport of containers. The system gives problems specifically when used on
large scale.
These problems result in capacity reduction and damage to the equipment.
The situation in a refuse processing plant was used as a case for this study.
The vehicle, its alternatives and the terminal layout were studied. The best
alternative was further developed. The chosen alternative is a dedicated
terminal verhicle on tires that can transship containers horizontally. For this
purpose the vehicle was equipped, just as the railcars, with a turning
table.
For the transshipment, the table are moved in line before the container is
pulled over.
