Kalmar launches new empties range
Kalmar has launched a new range of empty container handlers which promises better performance, greater reliability and lower running costs.
The DCG80-100 empty container handler range, which offers single and double stacker models in 8, 9, or 10 tonne capacities, has also been designed to offer an unprecedented amount of choice on features.
Drive lines, lifting heights, spreaders and performance levels can all be specified according to need, as can a host of safety features and options, including reverse warning, fire suppression, alco lock, tyre pressure monitoring, additional lighting and more.
Driver comfort has been prioritised with the state-of-the-art EGO cabin, offering advanced ergonomics, improved visibility and the option of either a high or low position on the chassis.
The new range also comes with SmartFleet, a powerful equipment monitoring and optimisation tool that makes it easy to analyse performance data, helping to improve both efficiency and productivity.
In other news, the company has received a large order for 23 straddle carriers from Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) Durban Pier 2.
The contract also includes a delivery of a straddle carrier simulator, which will be used for training purposes at the site. The order is scheduled to be completed in 2017.
