Kalmar and Depot Management Finland Collaborate on New Order
Kalmar Corporation is excited to announce an important agreement with Depot Management Finland Oy for the supply of two state-of-the-art empty container handlers. This partnership represents a significant enhancement in their capability to manage container operations efficiently.
Key Features of the New Container Handlers
These newly ordered machines are designed to deliver exceptional performance in handling empty containers, capable of managing two units simultaneously at the depot. This innovative design will enable Depot Management Finland to streamline their handling processes and improve overall operational efficiency.
Advancements in Technology for Enhanced Operations
The container handlers will incorporate a cutting-edge twin twistlock system, which significantly enhances safety and efficiency. This technology allows for the handling of various container sizes, including 20ft, 40ft, 45ft, and 53ft, without compromising speed. By using extendable top twistlocks, the machines will efficiently lift misaligned containers, correcting deviations of up to +/- 55 mm. This means fewer delays and more effective service to their customers.
The Impact on Depot Management Finland's Operations
The order comes at a crucial time for Depot Management Finland, especially after their recent expansion through the acquisition of a regional container service provider. They are committed to optimizing their operations across a growing network, particularly at the Vuosaari port in Helsinki. Teemu Heikkala, Finance Manager of Depot Management Finland, highlights that this order is vital for the organization to serve customers more effectively while maximizing productivity.
