Santos Brasil orders 12 RTGs from Kalmar
South America's largest terminal operator, Santos Brasil S/A, operating at the Port of Santos in Brazil, has ordered rubber tire gantry cranes from Sweden's Kalmar Industries.
The new 16-wheel units will be equipped with Kalmar's auto-steering and container position verification system, Smartrail, and delivered from September to January 2008.
Santos Brasil operates five Kalmar RTGs and five RTGs of another make at its terminal and is gradually making the transition from reach-stackers to RTGs and road truck operations.
