Delivery of the units to DP World’s flagship terminal, Jebel Ali in Dubai in the second quarter of 2017, and are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Suresh Ananthanarayan, Kalmar's key account manager for DP World, said: “This is the first order of Kalmar's new range of empty container handlers for the Middle East & Africa region.

"The new product matches the requirements for the region's busiest and most demanding port and demonstrates Kalmar's advancements in product offering.”

Kalmar's new range of empty container handlers was launched in November 2016.

The DCG80-45ES8 machines sold have the capacity of eight tonnes and they can stack eight containers high.

Every empty container handler in this range comes fitted with the latest EGO cabin as well as with Kalmar SmartFleet remote monitoring and reporting system that improves operational transparency and reduces downtime.
