The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally recognized as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has focused on cutting operational costs while simultaneously improving the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability as well as 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 around the world where containers are handled by ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, empty container handlers, yard cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in every 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 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 modes of transport also come into play. In the future, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. 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.
Customers are provided with a wide array of other services, in addition to port equipment solutions and technical support. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze which machine and handling systems are needed in existing or new terminals. The company offers a worldwide service and sales network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the client in all places in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
