Steeled for tough application
An Italian transport company has ordered six G generation counterbalance trucks from Kalmar.
La Cisa Trasporti Industriali is based in Bergamo, the heart of industrialised Italy, and will receive the trucks between April and June 2014. The move will expand La Cisa’s rental fleet, particularly those serving customers in the steel production industry.
Roberto Provenzi at La Cisa, says: “Once again Kalmar has provided the optimum solution to meet our needs. We had to select the best equipment to raise productivity for our customers and following rigorous trials we had no doubts about choosing Kalmar.
“The Kalmar DCG160-12 provides outstanding performance and durability through its high specification. The majority of the units will be dedicated to handling steel pipe and I am confident they’ll be more than up to the job. Two of the machines have been upgraded from the standard 16 tonnes to 17 tonnes capacity, which ensures we can maintain high productivity across all applications.”
Kalmar’s DCG range provides lift capacities ranging from 9-18 tonnes. Introduced in 2012, they provide wide-ranging benefits to operators through a variety of outstanding ergonomic and smart features, including the class-leading Cummins EU Stage IIIB/EPA Tier 4i diesel engines.
La Cisa has been working in the logistics field for over 40 years and has ten operating centres in northern Italy. Its machinery is deployed in some of the most important iron foundries and industrial ports in Italy.
