The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. The company has focused on improving the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Energy efficiency as well as sustainability has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in terminals and ports all around the world where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each segment of the crane spreader market too: from ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour 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 terminals and ports, the overall need to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic must be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means because of the fact the existing road infrastructure could not deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these modes of transport also come into play. In the future, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. 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.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, customers provide a huge array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to enable customers to better analyze the machinery and handling systems that are required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company provides a worldwide service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve issues in a network that spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all locations in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers need.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar provides a lot of great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their various kinds of machines would allow you to complete your jobs in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
