 Maktas has ordered six Kalmar Eco Reachstackers |
Kalmar will supply leading Turkish equipment rental company Maktas Makinali Tasima (Maktas) with six Kalmar Eco Reachstackers. The order was booked in Cargotec's 2019 Q4 order intake, with delivery scheduled to be staggered through Q1 of 2020.
Established in 1979, Maktas offers rental and sales of both new and used forklifts and other related lifting equipment, as well as spare parts and maintenance services. Maktas will offer the new equipment to customers in combination with a comprehensive servicing agreement.
The Kalmar Eco Reachstacker is becoming increasingly popular with customers around the world, driven by the need to reduce fuel consumption and reduce the overall impact of their operations on the environment. To date, more than 200 units have been sold.
Jürgen Wurzer, Kalmar vice president, South Europe, says Maktas has a long and successful history as a Kalmar dealer stretching back more than two decades. "We are delighted that they have selected the eco-efficient Kalmar Eco Reachstacker to support their business activities."
Ender Erkul, founder and owner of Maktas, says his company chose the Kalmar Eco Reachstacker for its "ability to deliver outstanding performance with significantly less fuel consumption".
Besides Kalmar, Maktas also supplies Toyota and Meclift equipment.
