The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading models for container handling. The company has concentrated on cutting operational costs whilst simultaneously enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in terminals and ports all over the globe where containers are handled by ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, empty container handlers, yard cranes, 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 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 modes such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means due to 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.
In the terminals, efficient operations need equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes 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 range of other services, in combination with port equipment solutions and technical support. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool enables customers to analyze what machinery and handling systems are needed in existing or new 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 close to the client in all places in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers need.
