The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally recognized as the leading units for container handling. Cargotec has concentrated on cutting operational costs whilst simultaneously improving the overall service levels and efficiency. Energy efficiency and sustainability has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for terminals and ports all over the globe where container handlers utilize ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, yard cranes, empty container handlers, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in the market in every 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 means of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional ports and terminals, the overall need to develop new machinery has been a focus of the company. Traffic has to be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes because of the fact the existing road infrastructure could not 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.
Efficient operations in the terminals need equipment for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations equipment offered by Cargotec consists of long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, straddle and shuttle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Customers are provided with a wide variety of other services, along with technical support and port equipment solutions. Like for example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze what machinery and handling systems are required in existing or new terminals. The company offers a worldwide sales and service network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the customer in all places in order to be certain they have the solutions their customers require.
