The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on cutting operational costs whilst simultaneously enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels. Energy efficiency as well as sustainability has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within ports and terminals all around the world 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 within the market in 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 modes like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machinery 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. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers offer a wide range of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the equipment and handling systems which are required for both currently existing and new terminals. The company provides a worldwide sales and service network to be able to help their clients solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all locations so as to be certain they have the solutions their clients need.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers lots of great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their different kinds of equipment will enable you to complete your jobs in a safe, timely and efficient manner.
