The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on cutting operational expenses while simultaneously enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels. Energy efficiency as well as sustainability has been one more main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in 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 as well: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore 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 machinery to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic has to be moved from roads to rail, barge and other means 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. In the future, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machine offered by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Customers are offered a huge array of other services, in combination with technical support and port equipment solutions. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows clients to analyze which machine and handling systems are required in existing or new terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network in order to help their clients solve problems in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all locations in order to be sure they have the solutions their clients need.
