DP World received six forklift trucks from Konecranes at its terminal at Jebel Ali Port in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The delivery of the Konecranes SMV16-1200C trucks was made to the DP World Jebel Ali Terminal 1 and follows an order placed by DP World in November.

The trucks are designed to have a lifting capacity of 16t at 1,200mm.

With a wheelbase of 3,750mm, the trucks are equipped with overload protection system and Groeneveld Greensight reverse system to meet with DP World’s safety requirements.

Greensight reverse system is an obstacle detection system that combines a reverse camera with ultrasound sensors.

The forklift trucks can also perform disabled forklift operation when the seatbelt is disengaged.
