The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally known as the leading units for container handling. The company has concentrated on improving the overall efficiency and service levels whilst simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for terminals and ports all over the world where container handlers use ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, empty container handlers, yard cranes, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within 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 modes of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional terminals and ports, the overall need to develop new machines has been a focus of the company. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means 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. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need machinery for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Customers are offered a wide variety of other services, along with port equipment solutions and technical support. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows clients to analyze which machinery and handling systems are required in new or existing terminals. The company provides a global service and sales network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their clients need.
