Cargotec's port technology solutions have been internationally popular container handler models. The company has concentrated on improving the overall service levels and efficiency while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Energy efficiency as well as sustainability has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for ports and terminals all around the world where container handlers use empty container handlers, yard cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in every segment of the crane spreader market too: from ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour operations.
There has been a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport modes such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machines to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic has to be transfered 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 means of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals require machinery for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add technical support and port equipment solutions, clients provide a huge array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for instance has been designed to allow customers to better analyze the machinery and handling systems that are required for both new and currently existing terminals. The company provides a worldwide service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be certain they have the solutions their clients need.
Whatever particular applications you require to work within, regardless of the setting, Cargotec Kalmar offers a range of solutions to help you figure it all out. Their broad variety of machines will allow you to complete your tasks in an effective, safe and timely manner.
