Cargotec Corporation was a Finnish provider of cargo-handling equipment and services for ports, terminals, ships, road transportation and heavy-duty industrial applications. Its operations were historically organized around three businesses: Kalmar, which supplied container-handling equipment and automation solutions; Hiab, which manufactured loader cranes, truck-mounted forklifts and other load-handling equipment; and MacGregor, which provided marine cargo-handling and ship-equipment solutions.
The company served customers globally through manufacturing, sales and service operations across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and other international markets. Its offerings included equipment, software, automation systems, replacement parts, maintenance and lifecycle services designed to improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of cargo movement.
Cargotec was formed in 2005 through the separation of Kone Corporation’s cargo-handling businesses. In 2024, the company completed a demerger in which Kalmar became a separately listed company, while Cargotec’s continuing operations centered on the Hiab business. As a result, references to Cargotec may describe the former group, while the continuing company operates under the Hiab name.
