J. Onneweer Werktuigen voor intern horizontaal transport op containerterminals. Literature survey, Report 92.3.TT.2999, Transport Engineering and Logistics.
A container terminal is a link in a transportation chain. When the transportation chain is considered as a system, then a container terminal can be conceived as a subsystem. The container terminal can be studied separately and is considered as a black-box.
In this report a survey is made of the different transportation equipment, being more or less capable of fulfilling this function. To make a selection from the available equipment a number of aspects of the equipment has been illustrated, so different tyoes of equipment can be compared. The terminal operator now has the opportunity to make a choice of one or more types of equipment matching his wishes and demands.
