Cargotec's port technology solutions have been internationally recognized container handler units. The company has focused on cutting operational costs whilst 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.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for terminals and ports all around the globe where container handlers utilize reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, empty container handlers, yard cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each segment of the crane spreader market as well: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore 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 ports and terminals, the overall requirement to develop new machinery has been a focus of the company. Traffic must be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means 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 would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machines for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, normal and long wheelbase reach stackers, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Clients are offered a huge range of other services, in addition to port equipment solutions and technical support. For example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows clients to analyze what equipment and handling systems are needed in new or existing terminals. The company provides a global sales and service network to be able to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their clients require.
