Terminal operator takes Liftace trucks
Two reach stackers and one empty container handler have been delivered to Conateco, Italy, making them the first Konecranes Liftace branded machines on the market.
At Conateco, the biggest terminal operator in the Port of Naples, the machines will be part of a diversified fleet of container handling machines that includes different equipment from Konecranes.
“We have relied on technology from Konecranes’ legacy brands for more than 20 years. The equipment is operated in our entire terminal and includes a fleet of reach stackers as well as mobile harbour cranes, STS cranes and RTG cranes. We are sure that the new lift trucks will help us to further extend our leading position in Naples”, says Pasquale Legora De Feo, MD at Conateco.
The Konecranes Liftace R 5-31 reach stacker stacks up to five high-cube containers of up to 45 tons in the first row. The Konecranes Liftace E 6-8 empty container handler stacks up to six high-cube containers and provides a load capacity of 8 tons. The three machines for Naples are equipped with engines that correspond to the EU Stage IV (EPA Tier 4 final) emission standard. An optional automatic greasing system for major components, e.g. chassis, boom or spreader is included in the three lift trucks. The two reach stackers are also equipped with rear-view cameras.
