The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally known as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has focused on cutting operational expenses whilst simultaneously enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
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, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle 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 machinery to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic has to be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes due to the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to handle the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need equipment for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Clients are provided with a huge array of other services, in combination with technical support and port equipment solutions. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze what machine and handling systems are needed in new or existing terminals. The company provides a global service and sales network to be able to help their clients solve problems 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 clients need.
