Kalmar has received orders for 10 diesel-electric straddle carriers from DP World's West Swanson Terminal in Melbourne, Australia. One order for five units was booked in Cargotec's 2015 fourth quarter order intake, and the other five units were booked in 2016 first quarter order intake. The machines will be delivered during the third quarter of 2016.

"At DP World, we are committed to working towards an ultimate policy of zero harm to people and the environment," said ​Max Kruse, chief operating officer, DP World Australia. "Kalmar straddle carriers have been chosen for our existing terminal in Melbourne for their energy efficiency, reliability and operator comfort."

The newly redesigned cabin on these Kalmar straddle carriers features a more spacious interior as well as a new window geometry that reduces night-time reflections and cabin noise.
