The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has focused on improving the overall efficiency and service levels whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. Energy efficiency and 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 reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, empty container handlers, yard cranes, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in 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 means of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional ports and terminals, the overall requirement to develop new machinery has been a focus of the company. Traffic needs to 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 containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec consists of long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers offer a wide range of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to allow clients to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are needed for both currently existing and new terminals. The company provides a global service and sales 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 locations in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers need.
Whatever specific applications you need to work within, regardless of the environment, Cargotec Kalmar provides 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 safe, timely and effective way.
