Straddle carriers

Cargotec has received a large order to supply 22 Kalmar straddle carriers to Australia's leading container handling operator, Patrick container terminals. Twelve of the straddle carriers will be delivered to Patrick's East Swanson Dock in Melbourne between July and December 2012 and a further ten to Patrick's Port Botany Terminal in Sydney between May and September this year.

Cargotec's Australian team will provide maintenance support to the equipment, with spare parts supplied direct from its regional parts warehouse in Melbourne. Systems based on Kalmar straddle carriers such as the ESC 350W represent the fastest options for medium-size terminals handling between 100,000 and 4,000,000 TEU
