Kalmar to supply 6 electric forklift trucks to Sagres

Sagres provides port logistics services, including maritime agency, storage and cargo handling services as well as equipment rental and other industrial services. The company operates in the three main ports in the south of Brazil ? Terminal Log?stico Rio Grande (TLRG), Terminal Log?stico Pelotas (TLP) and Terminal Log?stico Gua?ba (TLG) ? supporting the operations of Compa??a Manufacturera de Papeles y Cartones (CMPC), the second largest pulp and paper manufacturer in Latin America. Sagres also supports CMPC at its pulp and paper plant in the municipality of Gua?ba.

The new machines ordered by Sagres consist of four light and two medium electric forklifts. The light forklifts will be operated at the Gua?ba mill, while the medium forklifts will be operated at the Port of Rio Grande. All six machines will be powered by lead-acid battery technology.

Kalmar light electric forklifts offer all the performance of a powerful diesel truck but without the emissions, noise or vibration. They feature a time-saving diagnostic system and easy maintenance. Kalmar medium electric forklifts are based on the proven G-Generation platform to deliver on power and performance while reducing carbon footprint and fuel costs.

All Kalmar electric forklifts are fitted with the ergonomically designed EGO cabin as standard to provide a superior driving experience, with adjustable control panels, steering wheel and seat as well as exceptional visibility.
