The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are globally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels whilst simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders in terminals and ports all over the world where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, 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 ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour 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 ports and terminals, the overall need to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic must be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes due to the fact the existing road infrastructure could not 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 machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec includes 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 provide a huge variety of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the machinery and handling systems which are needed for both currently existing and new terminals. The company offers a worldwide service and sales network in order to help their clients solve problems in a network which spans over 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all places in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
Whatever particular applications you require to work within, regardless of the environment, Cargotec Kalmar offers a range of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their various kinds of machinery will allow you to finish your tasks in a safe, timely and efficient manner.
