Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally popular container handler units. Cargotec has concentrated on cutting operational costs while simultaneously improving the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within terminals and ports all over the globe where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in every segment of the crane spreader market as well: 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 like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment 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 modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals require machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec consists of normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers provide a wide variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow clients to better analyze the machinery and handling systems that are required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a global sales and service network to be able to help their clients solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer 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 different types of equipment would enable you to complete your tasks in a safe, timely and efficient manner.
