    摘要: A distribution system (100) is disclosed. The system includes the steps of: providing (105) a multi-level pathfinder with a containment cavity having a ground level cell and an elevated level cell; configuring (110) the containment cavity to receive containers; and loading (115) the containment cavity with a first container and moving the first container vertically to allow a second loading of a second container. This system provides a simple, robust and efficient automatable buffer to load and unload, a container between a chassis and rail or port terminal and/or at distribution hub.

    摘要: A system is provided for transferring loads between railroad cars on different tracks. If desired the system may be highly automated. A series of parallel, adjacent railcar tracks are provided for carrying separate strings of connected railcars and/or boats or trucks in side-by-side relation. A second series of tracks is positioned parallel to and adjacent the first-named series of tracks. A plurality of load lifting mechanisms are provided, these mechanisms being independently movable along the second tracks. The mechanisms each have at least one and preferably a plurality of grapplers capable of lifting a load from one vehicle such as a railcar on a first of the railcar tracks and placing the load on another vehicle such as a railcar on a second of the railcar tracks. Thus, the plurality of load lifting mechanisms can redistribute the loads of separate strings of connected railcars and other vehicles.

    摘要: A hub and distribution system (600) is disclosed. It comprises the steps of: delivering (602) a container via rail to a terminal; assigning (604) a corridor as to where to deliver the container, the corridor including a block of pathways in proximity to a track side location; picking (606) the container from a rail car and placing (608) it in one of the pathways in the corridor; and transporting (610) the container to a desired remote destination. The system provides an efficient, effective and semi-automated post-blocking method, such that each post-blocked group of containers has a similar desired remote destination, so that the containers can be easily located, loaded, handed-off and transported to a desired location.
