Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally recognized container handler units. The company has focused on cutting operational expenses while simultaneously enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels. Energy efficiency as well as sustainability 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 over the globe where containers are handled by reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, empty container handlers, yard cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each and every segment of the crane spreader market too: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore 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 machinery to assist the conventional ports and terminals. 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.
Efficient operations in the terminals require equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment offered 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 huge array of other services, in addition to port equipment solutions and technical support. For example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze what machinery and handling systems are required in new or existing terminals. The company provides a worldwide service and sales network to be able to help their clients solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places so as to be sure they have the solutions their clients need.
