The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally recognized as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has focused on cutting operational costs while simultaneously improving the overall service levels and efficiency. 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 globe where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in every segment of the crane spreader market too: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other modes of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional terminals and ports, the overall requirement to develop new machines has been a focus of the company. Traffic has to be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes because of the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations 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, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Customers are provided with a huge range of other services, along with port equipment solutions and technical support. For example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze which equipment and handling systems are needed in existing or new terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network in order to help their clients solve problems in a network which spans over 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers need.
Whatever particular 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 wide range of machines would allow you to finish your tasks in a safe, timely and effective manner.
