Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally recognized container handler models. The company has focused on cutting operational expenses whilst simultaneously improving the overall efficiency and service levels. 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 ports and terminals all around the world where containers are handled by ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, yard cranes, empty container handlers, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each 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 modes like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machinery to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic should be transfered 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 means of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment offered by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, customers provide 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 required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be sure they have the solutions their clients require.
Regardless of the environment and particular applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers many great solutions to help you figure out these problems. Their broad range of machinery would enable you to complete your tasks in an effective, safe and timely manner.
