DP World orders 10 Kalmar hybrid strads
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, is to deliver 10 diesel-electric straddle carriers to DP World’s West Swanson Terminal in Melbourne, Australia.
One order for five units was booked in Cargotec’s 2015 fourth quarter intake, and another in its 2016 first quarter intake.
Peter McLean, vice president, Kalmar Australia and New Zealand, said: “We are excited to receive this order from our long standing customer DP World. We are pleased to offer them a solution that boosts productivity, efficiency and safety through increased operating performance and superior operator ergonomics.”
Max Kruse, chief operation officer, DP World Australia, added: “At DP World, we are committed to working towards an ultimate policy of zero harm to people and the environment. Kalmar straddle carriers have been chosen for our existing terminal in Melbourne for their energy efficiency, reliability and operator comfort.”
The new redesigned cabin on these Kalmar straddle carriers boast a more spacious interior as well as a new window geometry that reduces night-time reflections and cabin noise, the manufacturer said.
They will be delivered during the third quarter of 2016.
