The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally known as the leading units for container handling. The company has focused on improving the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within ports and terminals all around 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 every segment of the crane spreader market as well: 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 like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic needs to be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes because of 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. In the future, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machines for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Customers are offered a huge range of other services, in combination with port equipment solutions and technical support. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool enables clients to analyze what machinery and handling systems are needed in existing or new terminals. The company provides a global sales and service network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network that spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all places in order to be sure they have the solutions their clients require.
