The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has focused on improving the overall service levels and efficiency whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. Energy efficiency as well as sustainability 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 yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in every segment of the crane spreader market as well: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other modes of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional ports and terminals, the overall need to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic has to be moved from roads to rail, barge and other means due to 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. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. 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 example has been designed to enable customers to better analyze the machinery and handling systems which are needed for both new and currently existing terminals. The company provides a global sales and service network in order to help their customers solve problems in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all places so as to be certain they have the solutions their customers require.
Whatever specific applications you require to work within, regardless of the environment, Cargotec Kalmar provides a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their various types of machinery would enable you to complete your tasks in an effective, safe and timely way.
