The port technology solutions provided by Cargotec are internationally known as the leading models for container handling. The company has focused on cutting operational costs whilst simultaneously enhancing 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 around the world where container handlers utilize yard cranes, empty container handlers, reach stackers, ship-to-shore cranes, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each and every segment of the crane spreader market as well: from yard to mobile harbour to ship-to-shore operations.
There has been a demand for better movement along rail to roads and other transport modes like barge applications. The company focus has been to develop new machines to assist the conventional ports and terminals. Traffic has to be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes due to the fact the existing road infrastructure could not 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.
Efficient operations in the terminals need machinery for handling trailers, containers and swop bodies. The intermodal operations equipment provided by Cargotec includes long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RMG cranes, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
