A reach stacker down at a port stops global cargo in its tracks.

Marine and port equipment dealers turn to Tinnacity when they need a service platform built for 24/7 terminal operations — where every hour of equipment downtime costs shipping lines in demurrage, delays container vessel departures, and puts your service contract at risk.

Who we serve

Port equipment dealers turn to Tinnacity when the chaos of managing service across multiple terminals, multiple brands, and 24/7 operations finally becomes unsustainable.

You're servicing reach stackers at container terminals, RTG cranes on the wharf, and terminal tractors moving around the clock. Your customers don't have business hours. Your service team covers multiple ports and port facilities, each with different equipment fleets, different operating schedules, and zero tolerance for unplanned downtime. Tinnacity brings control to that complexity — and Clark Equipment in New Zealand proved it.

Port equipment downtime isn't just a mechanical problem — it's a global supply chain problem. A reach stacker out of service during vessel operations means containers can't be moved. A vessel waiting at berth accrues demurrage at thousands of dollars per hour. Shipping line relationships, terminal operator contracts, and your dealer's reputation are all measured in response time. Tinnacity gives your service team every advantage to respond faster, fix right the first time, and document it completely.

Problems We Solve

Port service has pressure points that don't exist anywhere else.

Ports operate around the clock, serve global shipping schedules, and have zero patience for unplanned downtime. The service company that brings order to this environment — fast dispatch, complete records, and same-day billing — is the one that keeps the contracts.

01
Equipment downtime cascades across the entire terminal
One reach stacker down during vessel operations can back up container movements, delay ship departures, and trigger demurrage charges that dwarf the cost of the repair. Your response time — from the first call to the tech on site with the right information — is what determines whether your dealer keeps that service contract.
02
24/7 terminal operations have no service windows
Container terminals don't close at 5 PM. A reach stacker failing during a night shift needs a tech dispatched at 2 AM with the same information and urgency as a daytime call. Tinnacity's 24/7 mobile dispatch and real-time work order management mean your service operation is as available as the terminal it serves.
03
Multi-terminal, multi-port fleet complexity
Port equipment dealers typically service multiple terminals, sometimes across multiple ports or facilities. Each terminal has a different equipment mix, different operating schedules, and different service history. Without a unified platform, managing that complexity leads to missed PM visits, lost service records, and billing delays. Tinnacity provides a single view across all of it.
04
Multi-OEM fleets are the norm, not the exception
A typical container terminal runs Kalmar reach stackers, Konecranes RTG cranes, Terberg terminal tractors, and Hyster forklifts — all requiring different service approaches, parts systems, and warranty documentation. Tinnacity is 100% OEM-agnostic, handling every brand in a single platform without workarounds or separate systems.
05
"Controlled chaos" — disconnected systems, lost paperwork
Before Tinnacity, Clark Equipment New Zealand described their service operations as "controlled chaos." Work orders on paper, technicians without full job context, back-office teams chasing time cards, billing delayed. That's the starting point for most port equipment dealers — and Tinnacity is how they leave it behind.
06
Safety and compliance documentation at port facilities
Port facilities operate under strict safety regimes — maritime authority regulations, terminal operating procedures, contractor management systems, and permit-to-work requirements. Every service call needs documented safety compliance before work begins. Tinnacity's configurable pre-job checklists capture site induction, permit verification, and safety sign-offs as part of the standard work order workflow.
07
Planned maintenance compliance protects the fleet investment
Port equipment represents millions of dollars of capital investment per terminal. Terminal operators and shipping lines expect PM programs that prevent failures — not just respond to them. Tinnacity's asset-level PM scheduling ensures every machine gets its service interval on time, with complete documentation that satisfies OEM warranty requirements and terminal operator audits.
08
Billing latency on high-value service events
A major component replacement on an RTG crane or reach stacker is a significant service event — and every day it sits as an open work order in someone's truck is revenue your business hasn't captured. Tinnacity closes work orders in the field the moment the job is done, with all parts, labor, and documentation captured — same-day billing on every job, large or small.

Our Platform

A complete service ecosystem for port and terminal operations.

From emergency reach stacker dispatch to annual PM compliance on RTG cranes, Tinnacity handles the full service lifecycle for marine and port equipment dealers. Your DMS or ERP integrates seamlessly — no replacement required.

Mobile Service & 24/7 Dispatch
Technicians receive work orders with full asset history on their mobile device — even in port environments with patchy WiFi. Dispatch sees real-time status for every open job. Emergency calls at 2 AM get the same fast, documented response as daytime work. No tech arrives at a terminal without knowing exactly what's waiting for them.
24/7 DispatchAsset HistoryGEO StampReal-Time
Asset Tracking & Fleet Records
QR-tag every reach stacker, crane, terminal tractor, and forklift in every terminal you service. Complete service history, PM schedules, parts records, and inspection results are tied to that specific asset — accessible instantly, shareable with terminal operators on demand. When an OEM auditor or port authority wants maintenance records, they're audit-ready.

Safety & Compliance Checklists
Configure pre-job safety checklists for terminal site inductions, permit-to-work verification, working at heights checks, and equipment-specific pre-start inspections. Every checklist is completed and signed before work begins — creating a documented safety compliance record for every service call in every terminal facility you operate in.
Site InductionPermit-to-WorkPre-Start Checks
Telematics & Equipment Monitoring
Connect Kalmar's equipment telemetry, Konecranes TRUCONNECT, or other monitoring systems to Tinnacity. Fault codes trigger service work orders automatically. Machine hours drive PM scheduling. Your dispatch knows about a fault before the terminal operator calls — giving you the response speed advantage that wins and keeps contracts.

Why Tinnacity

Why marine and port equipment dealers choose us.

Port and terminal equipment service operates at the intersection of global logistics, 24/7 operations, and multi-million-dollar capital equipment. Clark Equipment New Zealand chose Tinnacity to bring order to that complexity. Here's why.

01
From Controlled Chaos to Command
Clark Equipment NZ used the phrase "controlled chaos" to describe their service operations before Tinnacity. Disconnected work orders, paper time cards, back-office teams chasing information, billing delays on completed jobs. Tinnacity replaced that entire workflow with a single, connected platform — and their team was operational within weeks. That transformation is available to every port equipment dealer.
02
24/7 Service Operations — Built In
Container terminals don't stop. Vessel schedules don't stop. Your service operation can't stop either. Tinnacity's mobile platform, real-time dispatch, and instant work order delivery mean your service team operates at terminal speed — whether the call comes in at 9 AM or 3 AM. Emergency response is a platform feature, not a special procedure.
03
100% OEM Agnostic — Every Terminal Brand
Port equipment fleets are inherently multi-brand — Kalmar, Konecranes, Liebherr, Hyster, Terberg, Combilift, and more across the same terminal. Tinnacity handles every OEM equally, with full service history, PM scheduling, and parts tracking for every machine in every terminal you service. No brand-specific modules. No workarounds. One platform for everything.
04
Telematics That Prevents Downtime
Modern port equipment is instrumented — reach stackers, RTG cranes, and terminal tractors generate fault data and operational hours continuously. Tinnacity connects that monitoring data to your service workflow, so fault codes become dispatches before the terminal manager calls, and machine hours automatically schedule PM work before the next failure. Proactive is more profitable than reactive.
05
Global Reach — Including New Zealand
Tinnacity operates across 6 countries — including New Zealand, where Clark Equipment runs their port equipment service operations on the platform. Whether you're managing terminals in a single city or across multiple countries, Tinnacity scales with your operation. The same platform. The same standards. Wherever the cargo moves.
06
White-Glove Onboarding in Weeks
Clark Equipment NZ was fully operational on Tinnacity within weeks. Technicians were trained and productive within hours of deployment. We schedule implementation to fit your operation — not the other way around. Port equipment dealers with complex multi-terminal environments don't need months of configuration. Tinnacity is built to deploy fast and deliver value immediately.
07
Customer Portal That Builds Terminal Relationships
Terminal operators and shipping line fleet managers want transparency — service records, PM compliance, equipment uptime history. The Tinnacity customer portal gives them direct access to everything, branded to your dealership. When your customers can see their equipment's full maintenance history without picking up the phone, that trust becomes the foundation of long-term contract renewals.
