New generation empty container handlers head to Dubai

Suresh Ananthanarayan, Kalmar's key account manager for DP World, said: “This is the first order of Kalmar's new range of empty container handlers for the Middle East & Africa region. The new product matches the requirements for the region's busiest port and demonstrates Kalmar's advancements in product offering.”

Kalmar's latest empty container handlers were launched in November 2016. The DCG80-45ES8 machines sold have the capacity of 8t and can stack eight containers high. Every empty container handler in the range comes with the latest EGO cabin, as well as with Kalmar SmartFleet remote monitoring and reporting system that improves operational transparency and reduces downtime. The machine is said to give drivers comfort and ease of operation.
