Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally recognized container handler units. The company has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels whilst simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within ports and terminals all over the world where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each and every 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 such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machinery to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic should be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes due to the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to deal with 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 need machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Clients are offered a huge array of other services, in combination with port equipment solutions and technical support. Like for example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze which equipment and handling systems are required in new or existing terminals. The company offers a global sales and service network in order to help their clients solve issues in a network which spans over 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all locations so as to be certain they have the solutions their clients need.
Regardless of the environment and specific applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar provides a lot of great solutions to help you figure out these problems. Their broad range of machinery will allow you to complete your tasks in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
