The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are globally recognized as the leading units for container handling. The company has concentrated on cutting operational costs while simultaneously enhancing the overall service levels and efficiency. 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 in terminals and ports all around the globe where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within 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 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 need to develop new machines 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 is unable to deal with the increasing level of traffic. Environmental reasons for these modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals would be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations require equipment for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations machinery offered by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Clients are provided with a wide variety of other services, in combination with port equipment solutions and technical support. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows clients to analyze what equipment and handling systems are needed in existing or new terminals.
