The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has focused on enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within terminals and ports all over the globe where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, 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 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 equipment to assist the conventional terminals and ports. 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. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, clients provide a huge variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to enable clients to better analyze the machine and handling systems which are needed for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a worldwide sales and service network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places so as to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers many great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their broad variety of equipment will enable you to complete your jobs in an effective, safe and timely way.
