Cargotec has received an order from Yingkou Port Group Corporation for eight Kalmar reachstackers and one empty container handler. The new equipment was ordered in response to an improved business outlook for ports in Liaoning and other provinces in northern China. Three units have already been delivered to Yingkou, with the remainder scheduled to arrive shortly.

The machines are being assembled at Cargotec’s production facility near Shanghai. The plant opened in 2006 to produce Kalmar container handling equipment and was expanded in 2009 to include the assembly of its Hiab loader cranes.
