Reduced emissions

Cargotec has won a contract to supply 12 Kalmar DCG150-12 forklift trucks to ArcelorMittal Hamburg - its largest ever order for the new DCG models.

ArcelorMittal, global leader in all major steel markets, will take delivery of the new models in February 2013. They will be employed at the company's Hamburg facility which manufactures steel coils.

The forklifts which replace existing Kalmar DCE90-180 models, will be responsible for a range of tasks including the unloading and transportation of steel coils across the extensive site. Each will be fitted with double coil ram attachments enabling them to handle two steel coils at one time.

At the core of the new models are Cummins EU Stage IIIB / EPA Tier 4i emissions compliant diesel engines - which feature a diesel particulate filter - cutting particulate emissions by 90% as well as reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by half.
