The straddle carriers delivered have a four-high stacking capacity and a lifting capacity of 50 tons. The machines are also said to be “powered by a highly efficient diesel-electric power unit, [and] feature excellent manoeuvrability, quiet operation and easy maintenance as well as a spacious, ergonomic cabin that improves productivity by providing operators with the best possible driving experience”. 

They will be used at both Terminal Normandie MSC and Terminal Porte Océane. The order was booked in Cargotec's 2022 first-quarter order intake and follows the delivery of a similar order booked in the third quarter of 2021.

"We are committed to providing our customers with innovative and high-quality services. Kalmar’s solutions fit perfectly with our ambitions," said Terminaux de Normandie managing director Arnaud Roques.

"As France's leading container terminal operator, we are committed to providing our customers with innovative and high-quality services. Kalmar’s solutions fit perfectly with our ambitions.
