NC Nielsen delivers 152 tonnes reach stacker

Kalmar Corporation has partnered with CES Srl to globally distribute and service CES reach stackers over 125 tonnes.

The big cargo handling equipment manufacturers are pushing ahead with fully electric mobile machines, but demand is still in its early stages, and not every manufacturer is ready to join the party just yet.

Despite aiming for low emissions, the Port of Oswego Authority seeks proposals for a traditional 50-ton, 50-foot reach stacker for its port.

The Port of Salalah has taken delivery of the first four cranes in a series of 10 super-post panamax STS cranes being manufactured by ZPMC. The remaining cranes will arrive at Oman’s largest container port in Q2 2024 with all units fully commissioned in the third quarter of the year.

Kalmar, which is part of Finland’s Cargotec group is to supply Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam with two fully electric and eight hybrid straddle carriers. The machines will be used in the company’s ECT Delta terminal and be delivered by the end of this year.

The Biden administration has announced four key actions designed to strengthen maritime cybersecurity and support domestic crane production. These will make it harder for ZPMC to build and deliver cranes to the US market, pushing up crane prices in the process.
