The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are globally recognized as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in ports and terminals all around the globe 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 within the market in every 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 means such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machinery to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic must be transfered 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 modes of transport also come into play. In the future, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec consists of long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle 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 instance has been designed to enable customers to better analyze the machine and handling systems which are needed for both currently existing and new terminals. The company provides a global service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve issues in a network that spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all places so as to be certain they have the solutions their customers require.
