The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading models for container handling. The company has concentrated on cutting operational expenses whilst simultaneously improving the overall service levels and efficiency. Energy efficiency and sustainability 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, empty container handlers, yard cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each segment of the crane spreader market too: from mobile harbour to ship-to-shore to yard 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 should be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes due to the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec includes normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Customers are provided with a wide array of other services, along with port equipment solutions and technical support. For example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze which machinery and handling systems are required in new or existing terminals. The company provides a worldwide service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve problems in a network that spans over 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all locations in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
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 kinds of equipment would enable you to complete your jobs in a safe, timely and effective way.
