Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally popular container handler units. The company has concentrated on cutting operational costs whilst simultaneously enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in terminals and ports all over the world where containers are handled by reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, empty container handlers, yard cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each and every segment of the crane spreader market as well: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other means of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional terminals and ports, the overall need to develop new machinery has been a focus of the company. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means because of the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machines for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. 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 provide a wide variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow clients to better analyze the machinery and handling systems which are required for both currently existing and new terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network to be able to help their clients solve issues in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all places in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers require.
Regardless of the setting and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers lots of great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their different types of machinery will allow you to finish your tasks in a timely, effective and safe way.
