The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally known as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Sustainability as well as energy efficiency has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for ports and terminals all around the globe where container handlers use yard cranes, empty container handlers, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each and every segment of the crane spreader market as well: 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 machines has been a focus of the company. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes 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 need machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machine provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, clients provide a wide variety 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 currently existing and new 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 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places so as to be certain they have the solutions their clients require.
Whatever particular applications you require to work within, regardless of the environment, Cargotec Kalmar provides a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their different types of machinery will enable you to complete your tasks in a timely, effective and safe way.
