Alexandria order for Konecranes

Egypt’s Alexandria Container and Cargo Handling Co (ACCHCO) has ordered 21 new lift trucks from Konecranes which will be delivered in late 2016.

The machines will operate in both of ACCHCO’s two major terminals – the Alexandria container terminal at the port of Alexandria and the El-Dekheila container terminal and help support them in their growth.

“Alexandria terminal and El-Dekheila terminal handle nearly 70% of Egypt’s foreign trade,” said Admiral Mamdouh Tawfik Draz – Chairman of the board and CEO of ACCHCO.

“We, therefore, place a very high priority on equipment that is reliable and efficient while offering a low total cost of ownership. This investment again demonstrates not only ACCHCO’s ambitions for growth but also our determination to use only world-class equipment and service.”

The C-series Konecranes lift trucks come equipped with the latest technology and the 7” touch screen, MD4, with full monitoring of vital components and functions for more efficient and productive operating.
