Chile’s Puerto Central in San Antonio has placed an order for 24 Kalmar Ottawa T2 terminal tractors and three Kalmar DCG160-12 forklift trucks.

These units are in addition to the seven Kalmar E-One2 rubber-tyred gantry cranes delivered in July and the eight Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors already operating at the terminal.

Puerto Central operations manager Mauricio Argandona said: "We have a commitment to becoming one of the largest ports in Chile and yet again Kalmar has provided the best equipment solutions in a short delivery time."

Delivery of the new units is expected in November.
