Kalmar introduces rugged terminal tractor in Europe - born again T2KALMAR, part of Finland's Cargotec, has introduced new Kalmar T2 terminal tractor for the European market featuring reliable, driver focused design, an ergonomic cabin, improved powertrain efficiency and modular construction.
The T2 is set to work in the harshest of environments and designed to operate both in the busiest distribution terminals as well as in heavier lift-on lift off (LoLo) port operations.
"The key features of the new Kalmar T2 are focused on driving down costs and optimising operational performance and flexibility," said Kalmar vice president Chris Booth.
The clear-view cabin is built around the driver to deliver an uninterrupted view of the working environment. This helps improve safety and awareness through panoramic visibility. All major controls are designed to fall readily to hand for smooth operation. The Kalmar T2 comes as standard with certification to meet roll-over and falling object protection standards (ROPS/FOPS) as well as noise reducing high-density cabin insulation. With two points of access into the cabin and a flat rear access platform, the T2 speeds up the hooking-up process, reduces driver fatigue, improves productivity and lowers operating costs. "Improving cycle times is of vital importance when calculating cost. This ensures that cycle times, machine damage and, ultimately, the cost of every trailer movement is reduced, allowing more movements per shift," said Mr Booth.
