Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally popular container handler units. The company has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels whilst simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within terminals and ports all around the world where containers are handled by reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, yard cranes, empty container handlers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in every segment of the crane spreader market too: from ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour operations.
There has been a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport means like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machinery to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic has to be moved from roads to rail, barge and other means due to the fact the existing road infrastructure could not handle the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. In the future, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machines for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations equipment offered by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers offer a wide 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 that are needed for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a global sales and service network to be able to help their clients solve problems in a network that spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all places so as to be sure they have the solutions their clients need.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers a lot of great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their broad variety of equipment will enable you to finish your jobs in a safe, timely and efficient manner.
