Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally popular container handler units. The company has focused on improving the overall service levels and efficiency while simultaneously cutting operational costs. 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 in terminals and ports all around the world where containers are handled by ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, yard cranes, empty container handlers, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each 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 machines to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic must be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means due to the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to handle 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.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machines for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations equipment offered by Cargotec includes normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Customers are provided with a wide range of other services, in addition to technical support and port equipment solutions. Like for example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool enables clients to analyze which equipment and handling systems are needed in new or existing terminals. The company provides a global service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve problems in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be certain 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 machinery would enable you to finish your jobs in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
