The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for ports and terminals all over the world where container handlers use yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in each segment of the crane spreader market too: from ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour operations.
There has been an increasing demand to move traffic from rail to roads, other means of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional terminals and ports, the overall requirement to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic must be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means because of the fact the existing road infrastructure could not deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these modes 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 swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec consists of normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Clients are provided with 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 machine 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 problems in a network which spans more than 120 nations. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all locations in order to be certain they have the solutions their clients need.
Regardless of the environment and particular applications you work within, Cargotec Kalmar offers a lot of great solutions to help you figure out these issues. Their wide range of machines would allow you to complete your jobs in a safe, timely and effective way.
