Shuttle carrier order

Kalmar will be supplying two new shuttle carriers to long standing customer, Total Terminal International (TTI) in Algeciras.

The SCH250H is fitted with twin extendable spreaders and can lift up to 50 tonnes

TTI Algeciras will take delivery of the new SCH250H shuttle carriers in the last quarter of 2013. They will compliment the existing fleet of 20 Kalmar shuttle carriers working the terminal already and will handle containers from 20 to 40ft.

Ignacio de Sebastián, senior sales manager, Kalmar, said:”We are delighted that TTI Algeciras has again specified Kalmar shuttle carriers. TTI was the first terminal in Europe to specify Kalmar shuttle carriers and clearly our equipment continues to deliver the performance they expect.”

A key factor in the selection of the SCH250H is environmental performance, say Cargotec.

Kalmar’s latest generation shuttle carriers feature a modular design for excellent versatility. The SCH250H is fitted with twin extendable spreaders and has the capability of lifting up to 50 tonnes. The twin lift spreader provides enhanced container handling capacity with minimal service requirements.

The carriers also offer a spacious operator cabin with excellent all-round visibility, enhanced ergonomics and low noise levels.
