Once in operation in April 2006, the shuttle carriers and 6+1 wide, four-high E-Ones will form the backbone of the handling system at Muuga CT’s new container terminal expansion, to be built on a 5 hectare expansion site during winter 2005/2006.
Kalmar’s all-electric E-One RTG will, claimed the company, meet Muuga CT’s requirements for increased productivity. It added: “Without the need for hydraulics, E-One features a low-emission diesel engine and is fitted with electric trolley, wheel turning and spreader. Fewer critical mechanical components mean less opportunity for mechanical failures while service intervals for both the crane and the engine are up to 1,000 hours. The machine also offers fuel savings of up to 30%.”
The order also includes one ContChamp DRF reachstacker, which will complement the Kalmar fleet of reachstackers and terminal tractors already in operation.
