Kalmar to deliver ten terminal tractors to Trac-Wheels in Malaysia
CARGOTEC subsidiary, Kalmar, has signed a contract with Malaysian port contractor Trac-Wheels for ten units of Kalmar TL2 terminal tractor. The order was booked into Cargotec's 2017 fourth quarter order intake and it is scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2018.
The Kalmar TL2 terminal tractor is specifically built for Asia-Pacific and was launched to the market in November.
Trac-Wheels (M) Sdn Bhd will lease the new machines to its Miri Port and Tanjung Manis Port terminals in East Malaysia, further enhancing their capabilities of integrated cargo handling solutions.
"The environmental features of the Kalmar TL2 terminal tractor can further contribute to the sustainable goals of Miri Port, whilst Tanjung Manis Port strives to improve operational efficiency.
"Kalmar TL2 terminal tractor offers more options and features to meet the local specifications and promote overall cost effectiveness," managing director of Trac-Wheels (M) Sdn Bhd, Richard Song said.
Vice president of Kalmar South and Southeast Asia, Teo Yew Boon, said: "The order gives us strong confidence in developing regional offering tailored for local needs. We see the equipment rental business becoming an emerging trend in Asia-Pacific. Kalmar will continue to support the growth and development of our customers with the best suited solutions."
The Kalmar TL2 terminal tractor is built on a tested and proven platform. The smart programming combined with the highly efficient driveline reduces overall fuel consumption by up to 15 per cent. With the specially designed hydraulics system, a bolted rigid chassis, an easy lift cabin and industry leading service intervals, the terminal tractor is built to save time and money, the company said.
