The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. The company has concentrated on improving the overall service levels and efficiency while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for ports and terminals all over the globe where container handlers use empty container handlers, yard cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in every segment of the crane spreader market too: from mobile harbour to ship-to-shore to yard 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 requirement to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes because of the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need machines for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec consists of normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers provide a wide range of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the machine and handling systems that are needed for both currently existing and new terminals. The company provides a global sales and service network to be able to help their clients solve problems in a network which spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers require.
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 wide variety of equipment will allow you to complete your jobs in a timely, effective and safe manner.
