London Container Terminal receives six Kalmar straddles

Six new Kalmar straddle carriers have been delivered to the London Container Terminal (LCT), according to the terminal’s operator Forth Ports.

Three are part of LCT’s equipment replacement programme, with the other 3 going into service to meet the increase in container business at the terminal.

The current fleet at the terminal is now 36 straddles. London Container Terminal handles a diverse range of conventional and reefer containers with cargos ranging from fresh fruit and vegetables to bricks and steel.
