The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are globally recognized as the leading units for container handling. The company has concentrated on improving the overall service levels and efficiency whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. 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 in terminals and ports all around the globe where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, 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 as well: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore 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 equipment to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic must be moved from roads to rail, barge and other means due to 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 will be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machines for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, customers provide a huge array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are required for both currently existing and new terminals. The company provides a global service and sales network in order to help their customers solve problems in a network which spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
Whatever particular applications you require to work within, regardless of the environment, Cargotec Kalmar offers a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their wide variety of machinery would allow you to complete your jobs in a timely, efficient and safe manner.
