  17. Intermodal Terminal Equipment Straddle Carrier Rubber-tired Gantry High storage densities (1,000 TEU per hectare). Difficult to move from one stack to the other. High acquisition but low operating costs. Circulate over container piles. Can go over stacks up to 3 in height. 500 to 700 TEU per hectare. Rail-mounted Gantry Front-end Loader Highest storage density (widespan; +1,000 TEU per hectare); mostly used at port terminals. Lowest operating costs. Fixed to rail tracks. Use container top anchor points. Handle most containers. Can reach stacks up to 3 in height. Portainer Reach Stacker Load and unload containerships. Various sizes (Panamax and Super-Panamax). Flexible side loaders. Can reach stacks up to 3 full or 5 empty containers in height. 500 TEU per hectare.
