Bothra Shipping Services has taken delivery of a new Liebherr LRS 545 reachstacker for its Kakinada Port container operation in India.

The new reachstacker is being used at Bothra's busy port for container operations, predominantly for the stacking of containers inside the terminal.

The Liebherr reachstacker was chosen because of the smooth handling features and the high total economic value of the machine.

The LRS 545 is designed for highly responsive operation with enhancements like stepless acceleration from the hydrostatic drive system.

Bothra operates 11 Liebherr mobile harbour cranes for bulk operations and is awaiting the delivery of a multipurpose CBW ship crane.

In order to further increase crane operator skills, Bothra has also recently installed a new training classroom equipped with a Liebherr LiSIM simulator. The simulator offers the original Liebherr crane controls and is equipped with simulations software for both mobile harbour cranes and ship cranes.

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
