Cargotec's port technology solutions have been internationally popular container handler units. The company has concentrated on cutting operational costs whilst simultaneously improving 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 terminals and ports all around the world where container handlers utilize empty container handlers, yard cranes, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, terminal carriers, shuttle carriers and straddle carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within 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 means such as barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new equipment to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic has to 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.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machinery for handling containers, swop bodies and trailers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, shuttle and straddle carriers and shuttle carriers.
In addition to add port equipment solutions and technical support, customers provide a huge array of other services. Cargotec's Port Optimizer simulation tool for example has been designed to enable clients to better analyze the machine and handling systems that are required for both currently existing and new terminals. The company provides a global service and sales network in order to help their customers solve issues in a network which spans more than 120 countries. Cargotec brings their solutions near the customer in all locations so as to be sure they have the solutions their clients need.
