Cargotec's port technology solutions have been internationally popular container handler units. The company has focused on cutting operational costs while simultaneously improving the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability as well as energy efficiency has been another 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 globe where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each segment of the crane spreader market as well: from mobile harbour to ship-to-shore to yard 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 terminals and ports, the overall requirement to develop new machinery 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 modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals require machines for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec consists of long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, clients offer a wide variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to enable customers to better analyze the machinery and handling systems that are needed for both currently existing and new terminals. The company provides a global sales and service network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all locations in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers lots of great solutions to help you figure out these problems. Their various types of machinery will enable you to complete your tasks in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
