The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. The company has focused on enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational costs. 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 within terminals and ports all over the world where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, 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 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 means like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means because of the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to handle 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 require equipment for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations equipment offered by Cargotec includes normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers provide a wide variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to enable customers to better analyze the equipment and handling systems which are needed 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 which spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all locations so as to be certain they have the solutions their clients require.
Whatever specific applications you need to work within, regardless of the setting, Cargotec Kalmar provides a variety of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their broad range of equipment will enable you to complete your jobs in a safe, timely and efficient manner.
