The port technology solutions offered by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. Cargotec has focused on improving the overall service levels and efficiency whilst simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Sustainability as well as energy efficiency has been one more main focus in the development work of the company.
Kalmar products by Cargotec are leading the market for ports and terminals all around the world where container handlers utilize ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, empty container handlers, yard cranes, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each segment of the crane spreader market as well: 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 need to develop new equipment has been a focus of the company. Traffic should be transfered from roads to rail, barge and other means because of the fact the existing road infrastructure is unable to handle 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 require equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, shuttle and straddle carriers, RTG cranes distribution tractors and shuttle carriers.
Customers are provided with a wide variety of other services, along with port equipment solutions and technical support. For instance, Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool allows clients to analyze which machinery and handling systems are needed in existing or new terminals.
