Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally popular container handler models. The company has focused on improving the overall efficiency and service levels while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Sustainability and 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 ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, empty container handlers, yard cranes, straddle carriers, terminal carriers and shuttle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders in 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 means of transport and barge applications. In addition to conventional ports and terminals, the overall need to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other modes due to the fact the existing road infrastructure could not 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 need equipment for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machine offered by Cargotec includes RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
Clients are offered a huge array of other services, along with port equipment solutions and technical support. For example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze what machine and handling systems are required in new or existing terminals. The company provides a worldwide service and sales network to be able to help their clients solve issues in a network that spans over 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions close to the client in all locations in order to be sure they have the solutions their customers need.
