Alexandria Container and Cargo Handling Company (ACCHCO) recently ordered three more Konecranes ECH mast trucks for its port facilities in northern Egypt – two for Alexandria and one for El Dekheila – for delivery in June this year.
They will bring the fleet of Konecranes lift trucks operating at the ACCHCO facilities to no less than 40 units.
Admiral Mamdouh Tawfik Draz, CEO of ACCHCO, said that the new model SMV 5/6 ECC 90 machines are similar to three units acquired just two years ago.
The ECHs have been fitted with a range of special features to enhance their performance, including a spreader from Elme with added strength and reduced weight for more durability and less wear. Central greasing on the truck and spreader simplifies maintenance.
Safety features include:
● Extra lighting on the console and mast for improved visibility.
● Buzzers to alert the driver to temperature and pressure changes.
● An alarm and automatic lift stop in case of overload.
● Automatic plug fuses as circuit breakers in the unlikely event of an electrical fault.
● Engine, lighting and ignition shutdown if the truck is left running for five minutes to save fuel.
● Parking brake that engages automatically if the driver leaves the seat.
ACCHCO has also requested different customised chassis colours on each of its orders as it helps with visual identification and keeping track of the machines in the field. These three ECHs will be painted RAL 1018 zinc yellow.
