(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, TRADE PRESS RELEASE, 3 FEBRUARY 2017 AT 10.00 (EET)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, will deliver two super-heavy forklift trucks to a
specialist industrial services provider Pentti Hämeenaho Oy, which runs
logistical operations at the Raahe steel mill in north-western Finland. The
delivery will take place during quarter one, 2017.
With a lifting capacity of 62 tons, the two new super-heavy forklifts will be
the highest-capacity forklifts that Kalmar has delivered since one of its
machines broke the world record by lifting 90 tons in 1991. They will be used to
handle steel coils weighing anything from five to 30 tons, and will be capable
of single and double coil lifting.
Kalmar's super-heavy forklift trucks are designed specifically for the heaviest
and most challenging lifting applications, making them ideal for the extreme
demands of steel handling, where safety and efficiency are paramount. Kalmar
DCG620-15 forklift will also feature the ergonomic EGO cabin, which provides
maximum visibility and comfort for operators.
Thomas Malmborg, Vice President, Forklift Trucks at Kalmar: "We're very happy
that Kalmar forklift trucks have been chosen to ensure the safe and efficient
handling of steel products at the Raahe steel mill. These forklifts, which will
handle extreme weights, are the result of hard work by our dedicated teams. This
prestigious order demonstrates our outstanding capabilities in developing
reliable and flexible customer solutions that are able to meet the heavy-lifting
demands of customers around the world."
