The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. The company has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in terminals and ports all over the globe where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within 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 a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport modes like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machines to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic needs to be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means 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. In the future, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals require machinery for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, clients offer a huge variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to enable clients to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are needed for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all places so as to be certain they have the solutions their customers need.
Whatever particular applications you require to work within, regardless of the setting, Cargotec Kalmar offers a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their broad variety of machines will enable you to complete your jobs in a safe, timely and efficient manner.
