The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are globally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has focused on improving the overall efficiency and service levels whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. 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 terminals and ports all over the globe where containers are handled by ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, yard cranes, empty container handlers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each segment of the crane spreader market too: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other modes of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional ports and terminals, the overall need to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic needs to be moved from roads to rail, barge and other means because of 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 would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machine provided by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers offer a wide variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow clients to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are needed for both new and currently existing terminals. The company provides a global sales and service network in order to help their customers solve problems in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all locations in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers need.
Regardless of the environment and particular applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers many great solutions to help you figure out these problems. Their wide range of machines would allow you to complete your jobs in an effective, safe and timely manner.
