The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are globally known as the leading models for container handling. The company has focused on cutting operational expenses whilst simultaneously improving the overall efficiency and service levels. Energy efficiency as well as sustainability has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for terminals and ports all around the globe where container handlers utilize reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, yard cranes, empty container handlers, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each and 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 like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic has to be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means due to the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to deal with 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.
Efficient operations in the terminals require equipment for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machine offered 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 technical support and port equipment solutions, customers provide a huge variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the machinery and handling systems that are required for both currently existing and new terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve problems in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be certain they have the solutions their clients 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 broad variety of equipment would allow you to complete your jobs in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
