KALMAR, part of Cargotec, has won a deal to supply Hamburger Hafen und Logistik with 10 new straddle carriers that are due to be delivered in the first quarter of 2019, raising total ordered by HHLA in the last two years to 30.
The HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) has an annual capacity of three million TEU. CTB was the first terminal to introduce the straddle carrier concept as well as a unique automatic stacking crane (ASC) concept featuring three cranes per block..
The new order comprises nine straddle carriers with diesel-electric powertrains and one hybrid straddle carrier, which features a maintenance-free regenerative energy system. All 10 machines will feature new robust mobile drives, a redesigned electrical system for the upper frame and spreader, and LED working lights.
Said HHLA executive board member Jens Hansen: 'These new machines will be vital in terms of helping us to continue to reduce operating costs and cut noise and emissions. We particularly appreciate the long-term reliability and proven performance of Kalmar equipment, as well as the local support services that help keep it working at its very best.'
