Kalmar equipment order for SIPG

Due to be delivered in the third quarter of 2018, the order includes a total of four units of reachstackers and 11 units of empty container handlers. The equipment will join the fleet of around 100 Kalmar reachstackers, empty container handlers, forklifts and terminal tractors currently in use at SIPG.

Alex Tang, sales director of Kalmar China, said: “We are very happy to receive this substantial order from SIPG for three consecutive years.

“With the high container volumes, the daily operations at SIPG places extremely high demands on equipment, and Kalmar reachstackers and empty container handlers have a proven track record in boosting container handling efficiency and helping customer to meet their business objectives.”
