Kalmar has signed an agreement with ContainerCo, a container depot operator in New Zealand, to supply six Kalmar empty container handlers. The order was booked in Kalmar’s Q3 2024 order intake, with delivery of the machines scheduled to begin in early Q1 2025.

The units are diesel-powered DCG110-45ED8, and have an 11-tonne lifting capacity, with a stacking height of 8+1.

Kalmar added that the safety features on all the company’s counterbalanced equipment solutions – including reach stackers, empty container handlers and forklift trucks – have been updated to ensure compliance with the recently updated EN 1175:2020 safety standard. This standard defines the electrical and electronic component requirements for industrial trucks.

In addition to the standard safety features, the units delivered to ContainerCo will feature two optional safety features: a cabin protection cage and the EagleEye camera system, which enhances driver awareness with camera and sensor upgrades.

Established in 2013, ContainerCo offers products and services to both commercial and private customers. The company’s offering includes shipping container sales and leasing, container modification, depot services and container transportation services.

The current ContainerCo fleet includes 12 Kalmar empty container handlers.
