The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally known as the leading units for container handling. The company has focused on enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Sustainability as well as energy efficiency has been one more 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, yard cranes, empty container handlers, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in every segment of the crane spreader market as well: 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 means such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machinery to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic should be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes because of the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to handle 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 need machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec consists of normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Customers are provided with a wide array of other services, in combination with port equipment solutions and technical support. Like for instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze what machinery and handling systems are needed in new or existing terminals. The company offers a worldwide sales and service network in order to help their clients solve issues in a network that spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all places in order to be sure they have the solutions their clients need.
Whatever specific applications you require to work within, regardless of the environment, Cargotec Kalmar offers a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their wide range of machinery would enable you to complete your jobs in a safe, timely and effective way.
