High performance & productivity

Cargotec has secured an order for 14 Kalmar straddle carriers from UK based Forth Ports as part of a major investment and upgrade programme at its London Container Terminal (LCT) at Tilbury.

Forth Ports is investing in equipment and site upgrading to LCT to ensure customers continue to receive a first rate and enhanced service. It is also integrating LCT with the busy short-sea terminal, also located at Tilbury. Part of the invest - ment plan is the purchase of 14 new Kalmar ESC 450W straddle carriers from Cargotec. The 7+ generation models combine high performance and productivity with low maintenance and operating costs. Designed with operators in mind, they are said to deliver strong environmental benefits, which can be further enhanced with hybrid operation.
