The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are globally known as the leading units for container handling. The company has concentrated on cutting operational costs while simultaneously improving the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within ports and terminals all over the globe 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 as well: from ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other means of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional terminals and ports, the overall need to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic must be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes 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. In the future, 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 machine provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, customers offer a huge array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow customers 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 problems in a network which spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all places so as to be certain they have the solutions their customers need.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers lots of great solutions to help you figure out these problems. Their different kinds of equipment will allow you to finish your jobs in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
