The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency whilst simultaneously cutting operational costs. 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 globe where containers are handled by empty container handlers, yard cranes, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within 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 modes such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional terminals and ports. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means because of 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 will be developed in the future.
Efficient operations in the terminals require machines for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Clients are offered a wide range of other services, in combination with technical support and port equipment solutions. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool enables clients to analyze what equipment and handling systems are needed in existing or new terminals. The company offers a global service and sales network to be able to help their customers solve issues in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all places so as to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
