Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally recognized container handler models. Cargotec has focused on enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in ports and terminals all over the world where containers are handled by ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, empty container handlers, yard cranes, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in every segment of the crane spreader market too: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other means of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional terminals and ports, the overall need to develop new machines has been a focus of the company. Traffic has to be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means because of the fact the existing road infrastructure could not handle the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need equipment for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, clients offer a huge array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the machinery and handling systems which are required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company provides a worldwide sales and service network in order to help their clients solve issues in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all locations in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
Whatever specific applications you need to work within, regardless of the setting, Cargotec Kalmar provides a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their various types of equipment would allow you to finish your tasks in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
