The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has focused on enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within ports and terminals all around the world where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, 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 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 should be moved from roads to rail, barge and other means because of 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. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machine provided by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers offer a huge variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to enable clients to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a worldwide sales and service network to be able to help their clients solve problems in a network which spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their customers require.
Whatever specific applications you need to work within, regardless of the setting, Cargotec Kalmar offers a range of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their various kinds of machines will enable you to complete your jobs in a safe, timely and effective way.
