The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading units for container handling. The company has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. 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 in ports and terminals all over the world where containers are handled by reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, empty container handlers, yard cranes, 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 ports and terminals, 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 will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors 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 example has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the machine and handling systems that are required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a worldwide service and sales network in order to help their clients solve problems in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all places so as to be sure they have the solutions their clients require.
Regardless of the environment and particular applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar provides many great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their wide range of machinery would allow you to complete your tasks in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
