Kalmar’s DCG150-12 medium-capacity forklift trucks have the ability to handle loads of up to 15t, and have a 1,200mm load centre.

Consuming minimal fuel, the trucks can be used in various cargo-handling applications.

Recently, Kalmar won an order from Suomen Satamatekniikka, a subsidiary of Steveco, to provide four diesel-electric straddle carriers, ten heavy-duty terminal tractors for roll-on / roll-off (RoRo) handling, four light forklift trucks, and two heavy forklift trucks.

The order will be delivered in the latter part of this year and the first quarter of next year.
