The value of the order is around €2.5 million and it has been booked into Cargotec's 2017 first quarter order intake.

The Finnish Defence Forces are continuing to renew its equipment and are now using the remaining options in its original request for tenders. The original order in 2014 comprised 172 Multilift XR2IZ hooklifts, 13 Hiab X188 cranes and 16 Multilift CHU container handling units. The value of that order was approximately €6.4 million. 

"The equipment we have delivered to the customer has met its expectations, due to which our cooperation with Scania Finland continues to prosper. Deliveries for the latest order will commence this year and will be completed in the first quarter of 2018," said Tom Suomela, head of Hiab Sales, Finland.
