The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in terminals and ports all over the world where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, 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 yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport means like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic needs to 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 modes of transport also come into play. In the future, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals require machines for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, customers offer a huge variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to allow clients to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are needed for both currently existing and new terminals. The company offers a global sales and service network to be able to help their customers solve issues in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
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 equipment would enable you to complete your tasks in a timely, efficient and safe manner.
