The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are globally known as the leading models for container handling. The company has focused on cutting operational costs while simultaneously improving the overall service levels and efficiency. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in ports and terminals all over the globe where containers are handled by reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, yard cranes, empty container handlers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each and every 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 modes such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machinery to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic must be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes due to the fact the existing road infrastructure could not handle the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. In the future, 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 equipment offered by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle 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 allows clients to analyze which machinery and handling systems are needed in existing or new terminals. The company offers a worldwide sales and service network to be able to help their clients solve issues in a network that spans over 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers require.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar provides many great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their broad range of machines would allow you to complete your tasks in a safe, timely and effective manner.
