Destined to replace older equipment, the Kalmar RT240s will be delivered to multiple locations across the United States by the end of the year.
The Kalmar RT240 provides exceptional performance, able to handle containerised loads of up to 24 tonnes across all types of terrain.
Said Kalmar's Texas unit chief Stephen Speakes: "This is yet another endorsement of the great quality of Kalmar's solutions for rough terrain applications. The RT240 provides a reliable materials handling solution, it is simple to service, maintain and fix in the field."
The company has been producing rough terrain handlers since 2009 and has three assembly lines focusing on container handlers and forklift trucks, employing 170 people.
