The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading units for container handling. The company has focused on improving the overall service levels and efficiency whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another 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, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each and every segment of the crane spreader market too: from mobile harbour to ship-to-shore to yard operations.
There has been a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport means like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machines to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic must be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes because of the fact the existing road infrastructure could not deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. In the future, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machinery for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machine provided by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, customers offer a wide array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to allow clients to better analyze the machinery and handling systems that are required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a worldwide service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve problems in a network that spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their customers require.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar provides lots of great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their wide range of machinery will enable you to finish your jobs in a timely, efficient and safe manner.
