The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has focused on enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been one more main focus in the company's development work.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for terminals and ports all around the globe where container handlers utilize empty container handlers, yard cranes, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in every segment of the crane spreader market too: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other modes of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional terminals and ports, the overall requirement to develop new machines has been a focus of the company. Traffic has to be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes because of the fact the existing road infrastructure could not handle the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these means of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machinery for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machine provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, clients offer a wide variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to allow clients to better analyze the equipment and handling systems that are needed for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a global sales and service network to be able to help their clients solve problems in a network that spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all locations in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
