Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has bought five new SMV Konecranes forklifts to handle cargo at the Mombasa Port,
Nation Daily reported.
The authority's technical services manager Joseph Atonga said the acquisition was part of KPA's equipment modernisation program to enhance efficiency and service delivery at the port.
SMV Konecranes service engineer Hakan Aronsson delivered the forklifts to Atonga last Wednesday. Total cost was KES71 million (USD979,999).
The newspaper said the KPA would soon call tenders for one 50-tonne, one 20-tonne, two 16-tonne and seven five-tonne forklifts.
