The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has focused on cutting operational expenses while simultaneously improving the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability as well as energy efficiency has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within ports and terminals all around the world where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in every segment of the crane spreader market too: from ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour operations.
There has been a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport modes such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic should be moved from roads to rail, barge and other means because of the fact the existing road infrastructure could not deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need machines for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machine offered by Cargotec consists of long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Customers are provided with a wide array of other services, in addition to technical support and port equipment solutions. Like for example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool enables clients to analyze what equipment and handling systems are required in existing or new terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all locations in order to be certain they have the solutions their clients require.
Whatever specific applications you need to work within, regardless of the setting, Cargotec Kalmar offers a range of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their broad range of machines would enable you to complete your tasks in a timely, effective and safe way.
