The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has focused on improving the overall service levels and efficiency whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. Sustainability as well as energy efficiency has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in ports and terminals all over the world where containers are handled by reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, empty container handlers, yard cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in every segment of the crane spreader market as well: from mobile harbour to ship-to-shore to yard 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 ports and terminals, 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 is unable to handle the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these modes of transport also come into play. In the future, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machines for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment offered by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers provide a huge array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to enable customers to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are needed for both currently existing and new terminals. The company offers a worldwide service and sales network in order to help their clients solve issues in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all places in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers require.
Whatever specific applications you need to work within, regardless of the environment, Cargotec Kalmar provides a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their different types of machines would enable you to complete your tasks in an effective, safe and timely way.
