Container lifts for rough terrain

Rough Terrain Container Handler (RTCH, pronounced retouch) container lifters allow you to handle standard ANSI / ISO freight containers that have recently become the backbone of US and allied military logistics. For example, only during the transportation of the third and fourth infantry divisions in January 2005, more than 4200 trailers and containers were handled on the CRSP LSA Anaconda transshipment base. According to the Container Management Support Tool, since the start of the Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, the US government has paid over 500 million dollars for the use of privately owned containers. The fact is that the US government has to pay penalties to private companies in the event that its container is not returned to the carrier during the 10-day grace period. In order to reduce costs, the army chose two ways, first, to maximize state-owned containers, and second, to minimize the time for loading and unloading. RTCH is best suited for this purpose. Deployment conditions do not always allow the use of a standard container lift. Snow, mud and just not prepared site can create insurmountable obstacles to their work. In this connection, two main models of off-road container lifters were adopted, the American Caterpillar and the Finnish Kalmar (the company is formally recorded in Finland).

Caterpillar Cross Country Container Lift

The container lift has a tonnage capacity of 22.6, is equipped with a Caterpillar 3408 diesel engine with HP 393 turbocharging power, and later 988F models are equipped with a Caterpillar 3408E HEUI diesel engine with 430 turbocharging HP power. The RTCH Caterpillar has articulated steering and all-wheel drive on all four wheels. He has a container hook on top, produced by the Caterpillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois. In order to reduce the cost and simplify maintenance during its manufacture, the maximum possible number of civilian components was used. The contract for the supply of RTCH was concluded in the 1978 year, 320 machines were delivered from the end of 1981 to the beginning of 1985. The cost of the first model was $ 159,138 at 1978 prices of the year. A small number of these vehicles were purchased by the US Air Force, and more than 120 of these vehicles were received by the US Marine Corps. The container lifters were delivered to the Marine Corps in the 1988 year and were slightly different from those previously set up for the army. The RTCH Caterpillar was created on the basis of the commercial Caterpillar 988B forklift with the addition of a forklift mast like the Hyster loader. Later models were based on the Caterpillar 988F forklift. So in 1997, additional 43 machines based on this model were supplied.

RTCH provides the ability to work with containers 2.4 meter wide, 6 long and 12 meters (20-and 40-and foot containers) and the total weight up to 22.6 tons. It can work on soft soils, such as unprepared sandy beaches and even in sea water at a depth of one and a half meters. Its length is 10.7, width 3.55 and height 4.12 meters, the maximum speed on the highway 40 km / h, the climb is 30%. RTCH Caterpillar is able to stack two containers in height, and can also place them on road or railway platforms. The machine is controlled by one operator and does not carry any weapons, as it is designed to work in the points of material and technical supply.

The top hook fits both ANSI / ISO containers of long 6 and 12 meters. This hook is located on the retractable fork, which provides processing of ANSI / ISO containers of various lengths. If necessary, it can also handle even more containers; in this case, 12-meter fittings are used. The RTCH kit also comes with regular plugs used for loading and unloading flatbed trailers and railway platforms or for moving and storing inventory items.

The lifespan was calculated for 11 years, but in practice it was 15 years. By the 2005 year, all container lifters of the American Army and Marine Corps underwent a major overhaul at the Caterpillar plant in order to extend their service life. So in 2006, the total number of RTCH Caterpillar was 668 machines. In 2000, the US Army contracted Kalmar for the production of more than 500 new container lifts for Kalmar RT240 rough terrain to replace the aging Caterpillar fleet.


Kalmar cross-country container lifts

Kalmar RT-240 cross-country container lift is the successor of RTCH Caterpillar and is manufactured by Kalmar in San Antonio, Texas (Kalmar itself is registered in Finland). The second RTCH was conceived as early as the end of the 1990's by the US Army Transportation School in order to take advantage of the worldwide standardization of sea containers. RTCH Kalmar RT240 was developed in close collaboration with the US Army, designed to handle containers in extreme conditions. RTCH Kalmar is able to lift two 6-meter containers from the railway platform at once or one 12-meter container at a time, which further accelerates loading and unloading. Kalmar Industries was awarded a contract for the production of RTCH in April 2000 of the year based on their commercial container truck RT-240 Reach Stacker.

By December 2004, the American army received 346 RTCH Kalmar purchased under the original contract. At the same time, the Marine Corps joined the army and acquired 25's own RTCH with plans to acquire a total of 105 container lifts. The British Army acquired at least 20 RTCH Kalmar for use in Iraq. In addition, Kalmar is in service with Australia. The cost of the machine is about $ 500,000 at current prices.

Kalmar RT-240 cross-country container lifts are equipped with a six-cylinder Cummins QSM 11 diesel engine with a HP 400 turbocharged engine. RTCH Kalmar weighs 53.5 tons and is capable of handling containers weighing up to 24040 kg. RTCH Kalmar has a moving operator's cabin and a telescopic boom, which allows it to be transported by air (on C-5 or C-17 aircraft), by sea, rail or road without the need for prior disassembly.

In the transport state, its width is 3.65, the length of 15 and the height of 2.98 meter. Preparing for air transport can be done in less than 30 minutes with just one person without help, as well as the need to disassemble and dismantle any part of the machine. The reduced height also greatly simplifies road transport. According to the manufacturers, Kalmar RT240 is the only container lift capable of working on surfaces with a side slope of 27 degrees and rises to 45 degrees. The operating temperature range of RTCH Kalmar is from -40 ° C to + 50 ° C.

RTCH Kalmar is able to work on the seashore, rugged terrain and unprepared surfaces, where it can stack three containers in height, and an arrow can lift the container in the second row. Like RTCH, Caterpillar has four four-wheel steering wheels and can work in sea water at a depth of one and a half meters (according to the British Army up to 1.8 m), which allows it to unload barges and lay containers on the shore. Unlike most container lifters, RTCH uses one tire on each wheel. All wheels are driving and both axles are turning, simultaneous rotation of all wheels in one direction is possible, and all steering is controlled by a computer for more precise movement. The axles are no-stress, and when driving on roads, a single-axis drive with a single pivot axis is possible.

Randy Wingenroth, vice president of Kalmar RT, says: "RT240 revolutionized logistics around the world for the US military and its allies, and now for the first time we are offering this product in the commercial market."

[redwolf_13]

Good common sense. Which can and should be adopted. I saw Amerovskaya fortified base where the perimeter consisted of containers. Strong, reliable and comfortable than what reminded the camp of Roman legionnaires

[Canep]

What service This should take place, it looks like engineering. Soon gantry cranes will be adopted. Although the idea of ​​the perimeter of the containers is not bad, if you fill them with sand, the wall will be almost impregnable.

[dmitreach]

What service This should take place, it looks like engineering.

outsourcing outsourcing, but engineering troops are needed.

[LION]

None of these are engineering troops or Know-How. Visit the sites of construction equipment JCB, CAT, MERLO, Hyundai, Komatsu and Manitou. There you will see a wide range of fork, telescopic and other loaders. Such a thing worked for me at a construction site (four in one: a front-end loader, a tower, a bulldozer, a crane manipulator, a forklift. It is possible to attach a drilling rig and a hydraulic hammer) An extremely convenient little thing. Saving money is huge (no need to order cranes, dump trucks, etc.)
And the article seems to be hidden unobtrusively.

[Professor]

Visit the sites of construction equipment JCB, CAT, MERLO, Hyundai, Komatsu and Manitou. There you will see a wide range of fork, telescopic and other loaders.

Indulge us, show the performance characteristics of these machines. With the depth of overcoming ford, gradient of rise, lateral slope. Do not be shy.

And the article seems to be hidden unobtrusively.

Well, why is it hidden? The CIA openly pays me for this.

[LION]

What is the gradient? Which ford? This is a purely civilian technique adopted for the needs of the army. Painted in khaki and the engine is not Euro 6.http: //www.kalmarind.ru/http: //rossiya.cat.com/ Manufacturers are cunning. This is not a development for the army. But, I agree, such a technique is simply necessary in the RA. Unfortunately, they do nothing of the kind in Russia. They don’t even collect it. They wanted Kamaz-Komatsu, but the cart seems to be there now.

[Professor]

What is the gradient? Which ford? This is a purely civilian technique adopted for the needs of the army.

You are mistaken. This technique is specially designed for the army based on civilian designs. And only recently have such container lifts become available for civilian users.

[ProkletyiPirat]

amers have long had grid-packet-panel fortifications inside of which earth, gravel, sand, etc. are covered.

[biglow]

a good idea, only the price of a loader of 500 thousand kills

[755962]

Thank you, professor, for the material. The man of the word. The machine is universal both for military needs and for civilian use. And irreplaceable for an unequipped bridgehead. Considering that almost everything is transported in containers ... Tady oh. About gas and oil workers I can finally keep silent.

[Papakiko]

Quote: 755962

Tady oh. About gas and oil industry finally can be silent.

These are needed on the tracked track.
Yes, and the "device" in our reality is easily replaced by an ordinary truck crane, which will be more versatile in work.
Of course, I was more pleased: this is work on an unprepared shore along the pantone mooring from the ship. This is broadcasting, this is BUSINESS, GREAT HEALTH!

[Professor]

Yes, and the "device" in our reality is easily replaced by an ordinary truck crane, which will be more versatile in work.

1. And the cranes of the bourgeoisie also piled up.
2. In your statement, the whole essence of the difference between the draft and professional army is stated. In the draft army where the soldiers are not worth the money, containers are not needed at all. They brought the car and unload it with the whole platoon. And that car, even with potatoes, even with coal. The same situation with the crane. How many people are needed to remove one container with a crane and install it in the third row? How long will this whole procedure take? But with a container lift, only one fighter does all this in minutes. In Russian ports, such squids are also dissected.

[Lopatov]

Do you think that anyone can perform the function of crane operator and riggers, you don’t need much professionalism?

Quote: professor

How many people are needed to remove one container with a crane and install it in the third row? How long will this whole procedure take? But with a container lift, only one fighter does all this in minutes.

The big question is, do we need to install containers in the third row? We are not Americans, on another continent we don’t fight.

We need containers. These are the machines we need too

Container lifts? I don’t think so. Extremely specialized machine

[Professor]

The big question is, do we need to install containers in the third row? We are not Americans, on another continent we don’t fight.

Thank God, Russia and its own territory are such that without a massive transfer of troops in no way.

We need containers. These are the machines we need too

And what will you shoot from the railway platform?

[Lopatov]

Quote: professor

And what will you shoot from the railway platform?

Gantry crane. Every freight station has one. If in the fields, then you can use an ordinary truck crane - there is no need to spread anything "in the third row", just throw it on the ground so that the self-loader can pick it up.

[Professor]

The approach is clear. The bourgeoisie are spoiled, however, and use specially sharpened equipment for this, and even developed special folding containers.

Photo in pursuit:

[Lopatov]

I do not think that the bourgeois are especially spoiled. It is unlikely that such units are in every motorized infantry battalion. Yes, and in the teams too. Most likely, this is the technique of specialized units involved in military transportation.
We can use civilian infrastructure, where such loaders are included.

[Professor]

it is unlikely that such units are in every motorized infantry battalion

In each and it is not necessary. I indicated in the article how many such machines were purchased.

We can use civilian infrastructure, where such loaders are included.

What else remains to be done?

[Lopatov]

But there are cranes in every motorized infantry brigade, at least in the "heavy" ones. So for the bourgeois everything happens in the same way as we do. Cool container lifters will work at the site of unloading supply vessels, at most they will install containers on vehicles, and let the troops deal with this gift themselves. Including

Quote: professor

They brought the car and unload it with the whole platoon.

And while it does not play a special role, who has to unload these containers, conscripts or superprofessionals.

[Professor]

The steep container lifts will work out at the place of unloading of supply vessels, they will install containers on vehicles by force, and they will allow the troops to deal with this gift themselves.

This is not true. One such "steep" one in a quarter of an hour will unload a dozen 20-ton containers from a barge to an unprepared shore, and a depth of one and a half meters is not a hindrance for him. How about that at the tap?

And while it does not play a special role, who has to unload these containers, conscripts or superprofessionals.

And here you are mistaken. The container is delivered directly to the recipient and he can use it without overloading everything in the warehouse. For example, during the reserve camp of Tzahal from the base, a container with pre-prepared equipment, such as clothes and shoes, is delivered to the battalion. There is a container with communication devices and so on. Thus, if earlier mobilization was carried out at stationary bases and ran from warehouse to warehouse, now you can mobilize a battalion even on a city lawn. By the way, weapons are also delivered in a standard container, the gunsmith prints out and get close.
Is this concept familiar in logistics just in time? TOYOTA, for example, works like this, from a container bypassing a warehouse to an assembly line.

[Lopatov]

Quote: professor

The container is delivered directly to the recipient and he can use it without overloading everything in the warehouse.

And what are you going to remove from the car? And what to put back on it when relocating? That's right, the first option: a crane and a self-loader, the second option: unloading-loading manually, the third option: a steep container lift worth half a million in each battalion.

By the way, why containers? For example, we use storage trailers. And sometimes loaded cars in the warehouse under the awnings are.

[Professor]

And what are you going to remove from the car?

By the way, why containers? For example, we use storage trailers. And sometimes loaded cars in the warehouse under the awnings are.

Probably because America is not such a rich country to store sapper shovels and axes (I actually observed this picture in the sapper battalion) on a truck for ten years. Probably also because the loaded semi-trailers are not willingly stored in three rows. Continue?

[Lopatov]

You have not answered how you are going to remove containers from the machine, and how to put them back. When answering, do not forget that most transport vehicles in any army in the world are not equipped with self-elevators. So it’s an exceptionally cool crane or the hands of soldiers.

Quote: professor

Probably also because the loaded semi-trailers are not willingly stored in three rows.

Ammunition was stored in our vehicles. And you know, containers with them can be arranged in three rows, but it is inexpedient to dig a lot, and the site for such storage will be much larger in area than when stored in one row. Even if you use concrete slabs as clothing of coolness.

Quote: professor

Probably because America is not such a rich country to store sapper shovels and axes (I actually observed this picture in the sapper battalion) on a truck for ten years.

Machines of the battle group are still in storage, they have very strict requirements for resource consumption. Why do they have to be empty?

[Professor]

When answering, do not forget that most transport vehicles in any army in the world are not equipped with self-elevators.

I'm not talking about "any" army, but about the one that only pays half a billion dollars for the lease of containers.

So it’s an exceptionally cool crane or the hands of soldiers.

You have already been explained which crane to use. And obviously not this

Ammunition was stored in our vehicles.

And we have shovels and axes in ZakVO. Do you think that during the transfer of two divisions in 4200 containers and semi-trailers there were exclusively ammunition?

Why do they have to be empty?

Logically, only now when the truck is needed and not with axes who will unload it? In the same ZakVO, one big chief from Tbilisi decided to take the equipment to the march and it turned out that the engine would not start at the weather station based on the GAZ-66. The reason is commonplace. Guess three times. Correctly. While he was there for a couple of years waiting for his finest hour, the servants removed everything that was possible from the engine. This GAZ in the squadron was not far from the headquarters and the watch was not put to him ...

[Lopatov]

Quote: professor

I'm not talking about "any" army, but about the one that only pays half a billion dollars for the lease of containers.

This army can be perverted as you like, including using 35-ton containers. There’s nothing to carry them anyway. The device in the picture pulls 15 tons, but it does not make up the majority of US army trucks, which are cars with a carrying capacity of up to 10 tons, and are not equipped with any self-lifting devices.

Quote: professor

You have already been explained which crane to use. And obviously not this

The explainer forgot the payload of most of our machines. Or didn’t know. Will there be enough sixteen-ton crane to load 9-ton containers? I think yes.

Quote: professor

And we have shovels and axes in ZakVO. Do you think that during the transfer of two divisions in 4200 containers and semi-trailers there were exclusively ammunition?

Did you have shovels and axes in all the machines in ZakVO?

Quote: professor

For this, there are vehicles of the transport group. Combat and combatant stand in storage and do not buzz.

Quote: professor

Burdock commander paid out of pocket. And it is right.

[Professor]

This army can be perverted as you like, including using 35-ton containers.

I tell you the numbers about 2 divisions, container rental, and you give me the lyrics.

The explainer forgot the payload of most of our machines. Or didn’t know. Will there be enough sixteen-ton crane to load 9-ton containers? I think yes.

1. Is not a fact.
2. And what about the 20-ton? Ritch does this without straining.

Did you have shovels and axes in all the machines in ZakVO?

There were a lot of things. The same shovels also lay in stacks (or they could wait in the airtight container), KrAZ trucks were clogged with mine detectors. The rest we did not examine.

For this, there are vehicles of the transport group. Combat and combatant stand in storage and do not buzz.

This is the case in rich countries. And in the poor, such as the United States, they try to use trucks for their intended purpose - to transport goods, and not to store material assets on them.

Burdock commander paid out of pocket. And it is right.

Are you married for the first time? He paid nothing. He gave the brains to his driver and the next day he took out all the missing spare parts. Guessed where he got them?

PS
Do you think they will launch this car if necessary?

[Lopatov]

Quote: professor

I tell you the numbers about 2 divisions, container rental, and you give me the lyrics.

Do you think American cargo vehicles are lyrics? Well, for me, a direct indication that the vast majority of containers were not used for temporary storage of mat. funds. It was loaded, transported by civilian vehicles to the port, loaded onto transport ships, at the end point, the containers were unloaded onto vehicles. In fact, this is no different from loading in a covered wagon at one freight station and unloading at another.

Quote: professor

And what about the 20 ton? Ritch does this without straining.

But "Ural" with its carrying capacity of 9 tons is still going to strain.

Quote: professor

This is the case in rich countries. And in the poor, such as the United States, they try to use trucks for their intended purpose - to transport goods, and not to store material assets on them.

You know, I very much doubt that the Americans do not store most of their transport vehicles, using only part of them for everyday needs. I don’t think they are as brainless as you want them to be.

Quote: professor

Are you married for the first time? He paid nothing. He gave the brains to his driver and the next day he took out all the missing spare parts. Guessed where he got them?

Of course I guessed. From another car of the same part. So in the end the commander nevertheless paid the burdock. Not this one, so different.

[Professor]

Well, for me, a direct indication that the vast majority of containers were not used for temporary storage of mat. funds.

Do you upload photos of American storage bases or do you find it yourself?

It was loaded, transported by civilian vehicles to the port, loaded onto transport ships, at the end point, the containers were unloaded onto vehicles. In fact, this is no different from loading in a covered wagon at one freight station and unloading at another.

It differs in the time of loading and unloading, safety of cargo and the number of personnel involved.

But "Ural" with its carrying capacity of 9 tons is still going to strain.

Lucky bourgeois that they have no Urals

I don’t think they are as brainless as you want them to be.

They are very pragmatic and will not use a truck worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the form of a rack.

So in the end the commander nevertheless paid the burdock. Not this one, so different.

In the end, the car was simply decommissioned (if I’m not mistaken ten years after delivery, but I can check it) and no commander paid for anything.

PS
What are you trying to prove? What can you do without containers? Of course you can, no doubt. However, it is more convenient, reliable, faster and cheaper with them.

[lazy]

So the topic is curious. Especially, in the context of the acquisition of UDC and base places under construction for them. (In Vladik and Peter and Paul-Kamchatsky)

[region34]

heh, I'm afraid you have very superficial ideas about the capabilities of a truck crane, and so a loaded 40-foot container is removed from the truck semi-trailer (!) by 2 (!) truck cranes, one of them is 50 tons another 25 tons, and then in my opinion they just lifted it and the truck got them under it
so there’s no need for fairy tales that these loaders will be able to replace an ordinary truck crane, if it can, then it’s a very unusual tone for 80-100 commercials, there are not many such monsters in the country and the cost will be even more

[dmitreach]

The big question is, do we need to install containers in the third row? We are not Americans, on another continent we don’t fight.

Lopatov, welcome! We have such a huge territory (and, by the way, unlike the "two-dimensional" political map of the world, never a billiard table) that sometimes it resembles some fantastic saga about interplanetary travel ... How much time does it take to get from Kaliningrad to Vladik? As to another planet. Fir trees ...
Another example. From the history. The Roman Empire flourished on the shores of the Mediterranean puddle ... For the transport network of that time was water (even though the Romans invented roads, in the modern sense). So you can imagine that from Naples to Tunisia, someone would travel through Greece - Syria - Egypt? And now, mentally turn the map 90 degrees counterclockwise and look at the map of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk ... Where is Vladik and where is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky ... No one travels through Magadan there. Roads ... More precisely "directions" and those - not a lot. "along the winter road" is a way of life.
here you are

[Canep]

Quote: Papakiko

Yes, and the "device" in our reality is easily replaced by an ordinary truck crane, which will be more versatile in work.

To lift a container weighing 35 tons, you need a truck crane with a lifting capacity of at least 50 tons, and if you attach a 12 meter container at the corners, then because of the large length of the slings, you need an even more powerful truck crane, to put the container in the third row you need a crane with a lifting capacity of 100 tons. 100 This is no longer an ordinary truck crane, it is a piece of work. The patency of such a crane is by no means suitable for military use. And a crane operator needs a person with an education.
PS for truck cranes, the carrying capacity depends on the reach and the length of the boom, with an increase in these sizes it drops sharply.

[Lopatov]

Do you know which trucks are used in the troops? What is their carrying capacity? What are you going to transport a 12-meter container weighing 35 tons? Dragging by drag?

[Canep]

I didn't understand something, what I suggested was to transport, load or somehow use these containers. I just simply explained that to load a loaded container, you need special equipment, or a large-capacity truck crane. And as for those vehicles that are used by the troops, I am aware, none of them is suitable, only a semi-trailer for transporting tanks with a KZKT or "Uragan" tractor will do.

[LION]

You are apparently the person responsible for the safe operation of lifting gear.

On the contrary, I am engaged in the development of the PPR, and sometimes I have to "play on the brink of a foul."

It is on such nuances and military "games" are played. And the success of one or another military operation is often decided. And we must not forget that the seemingly imperceptible "materiel" can significantly facilitate the solution of seemingly solvable problems (sorry for the tautology) Take the same article with the military bulldozers. Yes, there are many examples. I'm waiting for new reviews on the "pieces of iron". Sincerely.

this is suitable for the non-equipped bridgehead, when replacing the manipulator, at least put the containers wherever you want. and not only from containers defense can be built but from improvised materials - broken equipment, stones, etc. and squids in our ports and so drive, if necessary, and load the military.

The idea is interesting, but it seems to me that it will turn it over from a 25-ton container.

[Lopatov]

Tank-based unit?

[Canep]

Even a 50-ton crane will definitely turn over 39 tons weigh, so its weight is distributed not for protection against shells but for the greatest carrying capacity, and the tank chassis weighs about 30 tons.

[Lopatov]

Specifically, this IMR weighs 51 tons. I hope you will not claim that there are twenty-one on his arrow.

[Canep]

The boom can weigh about 8 tons, the dump is about the same for cutting, the hydraulic equipment and the plow account for the rest of the weight. The concept of a counterweight, which accounts for the lion's share of the weight of a truck crane, is not in the construction of the MPI. In addition, any truck crane has outriggers (outriggers), which increase the stability of the crane, they are not available for PMI and it is quite difficult to put it. I guess there will be a question that caterpillar cranes can work without supports. I answer right away that not a single crawler crane fits into the transport dimensions, on light cranes (MKG-25) the tracks can be moved apart, and on heavy cranes they are generally transported separately. And the crawler track of the crane does not have a soft suspension, in contrast to the IMR.

this is suitable for the non-equipped bridgehead, when replacing the manipulator, at least put the containers wherever you want. and not only from containers defense can be built but from improvised materials - broken equipment, stones, etc. and squids in our ports and so drive, if necessary, and load the military. Americans let them build a faucet for every drawer, a lot of money.

great promotional article. Professor you need to demand a fee from manufacturers.

[Old skeptic]

No - these Amer loaders are an excellent technique. We need to buy more from them, and sell them together with CLUB-K.
But what a good idea, and everyone is comfortable and fun. Our potential buyers need to load containers with missiles.

[Canep]

Do such containerized missile systems exist? Or is this just a good idea?

[Old skeptic]

Already eat. Passed perevoritelny tests, and with might and main is offered to the international market, as an effective defense against a potential "aggressor"

Do you think they will launch this car if necessary?

SKP-11 will be surely launched, though it will be minimized first, then it will be taken and will go to a new place, or, as a last resort, to the other end of the airfield.
I liked the article, it is very useful for the overall development.

then lead

They won’t get it. From there, hawks from the company to their trucks all that could be pulled. Although there are exceptions.
