Kalmar delivers 25-unit forklift order
Kalmar has delivered an order for 25 forklift trucks from the Algerian port procurement company, Groupement DInterêt Commun Des Entreprises Portuaires (GICEP).
The forklifts will perform stevedoring operations at the ports of Algiers, Annaba, Mostaganem, Oran and Tenes.
Peter Ivarsson, director, sales and marketing, forklift trucks at Kalmar: “This order is a continuation of our valuable relationship with GICEP, which has made significant equipment investments in recent years.”
“The order demonstrates their satisfaction with the reliability and quality of Kalmar forklift trucks as well as our local technical expertise.”
GICEP groups together the public ports in Algeria, handling approximately 800,000 teu of containers annually. This is GICEP’s fourth order for Kalmar cargo handling equipment since 2013.
Kalmar has previously delivered 25 reachstackers for use in five different ports, as well as a number of medium and heavy-capacity forklift trucks.
These Kalmar DCG150-12 medium-capacity forklift trucks can handle loads of up to 15 tonnes and have a 1200 mm load centre.
Kalmar said they are ideal for demanding cargo-handling applications, combining low fuel consumption and superior lifting performance with easy maintenance and excellent reliability.
