Kalmar to deliver T2 terminal tractors

The new equipment will join a fleet of over 30 Kalmar heavy duty forklift trucks, 20 terminal tractors and three reachstackers already in use at HeavyMovement.

Ivan Bailach, deputy managing director at HeavyMovement, said: “We have a long-standing relationship with Kalmar and have always appreciated their flexibility to adapt to our needs. We work hard to outperform our competitors in safety, productivity and quality.”

“With the new machines we will be able to decrease our running costs and improve the safety of our operations”

Kalmar DCG160-12 forklift trucks can handle loads of up to 17 tonnes and have a 1200 mm load centre.

They have a 180-degree rotating seat, improving visibility and safety on site. The trucks also come equipped with Kalmar SmartFleet, a solution that enables more effective management of handling operations while decreasing downtime and improving safety.

The two Kalmar T2 terminal tractors have a gross combination weight of 95 tonnes and will be used to transport steel from production plants to the warehouses.

Mr Bailach, added: “The new Kalmar forklift trucks will give our drivers much better visibility when working. At the same time, we will be able to accurately track their performance using Kalmar SmartFleet remote monitoring system.

“We are also proud to be ordering the first Kalmar T2 terminal tractors to be delivered to Iberia.”

The delivery is set to take place during December 2016.
