Spanish shuttle carriers pick up on efficiency
Kalmar has been awarded a contract to provide a fleet of shuttle carriers to TTI Algeciras SA in Spain.
The 20 Kalmar SHC240H shuttle carriers have a single-lifting capacity of 40 tonnes and can stack containers two-high. The equipment will be delivered by January 2010. The shuttle carrier fleet picks the containers off the ground from behind the ship-to-shore cranes and carries them to the automatic stacking cranes.
