Cargotec signs US$26 million Pentagon deal for rough-terrain forklifts
FINLAND's Cargotec Kalmar Rough Terrain Centre (KRTC) in Cibolo, near San Antoine, Texas, has signed an order for 355 light capability rough terrain forklift trucks (LCRTF) with the Pentagon.
Total value of the order is EUR20 million (US$26.1 million) and it has been booked into the company's third quarter 2012 order intake, said a company statement.
The order is part of the frame agreement signed between KRTC and the US Department of Defence in 2011. It follows deals signed in 2011 and 2012, taking the total number of units close to 1,300, a company statement said.
The LCRTF is a purpose-built cargo handling gear for loading and unloading containers, railcars and tactical vehicles. The LCRTF has sufficient capacity to function in military operational areas where high flotation and traction are required.
