KALMAR, a part of Cargotec, has been chosen provide its Kalmar Fleet Solution of mobile equipment to Australian Container Freight Services (ACFS) operations in Adelaide, Fremantle and Melbourne.
ACFS, Australia's largest privately
owned container logistics operator, has placed an order for three DCG100
Empty Container Handlers and two of DRG450- Reachstackers, which have
been booked into Cargotec 2018 Q2 order intake.
In addition to this, the Kalmar Fleet Solution will also allow ACFS to
purchase a rental fleet, enabling efficient movement of cargo with
minimal downtime.
Kalmar said in a press release that ACFS began discussing their needs
with company roughly 12 months ago. In order to better understand the
customer needs, Kalmar reviewed some of ACFS' operations and offered
several suggestions to improve efficiencies and safety on the site.
Such suggestions included introducing a greater lift capacity over the
second rail line and elevated cabin heights for the DCG Empty Container
Handler, to improve the operator visibility which assists on improving
safety in the work environment.
Said ACFS general manager Tim Holmes: "With the Fleet Solution that
Kalmar provides, we do not have to worry about breakdown and downtime as
they are well covered by Kalmar in their fully maintained rental
solution. This allows us to focus on our core business to deliver best
class container freight logistics to our customers."
