Cargotec's port technology solutions have been globally popular container handler units. The company has concentrated on cutting operational expenses whilst simultaneously enhancing the overall efficiency and service levels. Sustainability and energy efficiency has been another main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for ports and terminals all around 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 each segment of the crane spreader market too: from ship-to-shore to yard to mobile harbour operations.
There has been a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport modes such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machines to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic must 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 modes of transport also come into play. Eventually, more intermodal terminals will be developed in the future.
In the terminals, efficient operations need equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machine provided by Cargotec consists of long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Clients are provided with a wide array of other services, along with technical support and port equipment solutions. For example, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows customers to analyze which equipment and handling systems are needed in new or existing terminals.
