Cargotec's port technology solutions have been internationally popular container handler models. Cargotec has focused on improving the overall service levels and efficiency while simultaneously cutting operational expenses. Sustainability as well as energy efficiency has been another main focus in the company's development work.
Cargotec's Kalmar products are the top market leaders within terminals and ports all around the world where containers are handled by yard cranes, empty container handlers, ship-to-shore cranes, reach stackers, shuttle carriers, straddle carriers and terminal carriers. Cargotec's spreaders are leaders within the market in each segment of the crane spreader market as well: from mobile harbour to ship-to-shore to yard 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 machines has been a focus of the company. Traffic should be moved from roads to rail, barge and other modes 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 need equipment for handling swop bodies, trailers and containers. The intermodal operations machinery provided by Cargotec consists of RMG cranes, long and normal wheelbase reach stackers, RTG cranes distribution tractors, straddle and shuttle carriers and shuttle carriers.
