Moving on the empties

A new empty container handler (ECH) from manufacturer Kalmar has been designed to help operations suffering from empty box congestion.

The DCF70 ECH gives a lifting capacity of up to seven tonnes and stacking heights of four- or five- high. Although it is the smallest empty container handler offered by Cargotec, the machine has been, said the company, “built as a workhorse, able to handle a great deal of wear and tear”.

It features better fuel efficiency than the previous DCD model and a drive train that complies with emission requirements, in addition to sound and vibration standards.
