The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on cutting operational expenses while simultaneously enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for terminals and ports all over the globe where container handlers use yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each segment of the crane spreader market too: from mobile harbour to ship-to-shore to yard 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 machines to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic has to be transfered 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 modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need equipment for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, normal and long 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 offer a huge range of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to enable customers to better analyze the machine and handling systems which are required for both currently existing and new terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network that spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
Whatever specific applications you require to work within, regardless of the setting, Cargotec Kalmar offers a range of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their various types of equipment would allow you to complete your jobs in an effective, safe and timely way.
