Container handling
With modern machinery in both Västerås and Köping, we ensure a flexible and high-capacity solution for your container logistics.
A complete and reliable solution for container handling, from ship to quay and onward transport.
Mälarhamnar is the obvious logistics partner for container traffic in Mälardalen. With our strategically located harbours in Västerås and Köping, we offer a complete and efficient solution for loading and unloading containers, where safety and operational reliability are always in focus.
At the heart of our container operations are our modern and powerful Gottwald cranes. These cranes are renowned for their performance and reliability, ensuring safe and secure handling of your containers during loading and unloading. To ensure smooth and fast logistics on the harbour floor, we use a modern fleet of efficient terminal tractors and reach stackers. These machines are essential for moving containers quickly between quayside, storage areas and onward transport by truck or rail.
By having this complete and high-quality equipment in both Västerås and Köping, we can ensure high capacity and flexibility for our customers. This minimises the risk of disruption and ensures that your logistics flows remain efficient and predictable.
