The new Kalmar DCF70-40E is the final machine to join Cargotec's range of "F"-generation counterbalance equipment. It replaces the previous DCD model and shares the same technical platform as the current Kalmar DCF80 empty container handler.
Cargotec says the empty container handler is based on proven technology and features a cleaner engine with better fuel efficiency; new hydraulic and electric systems; improved maintenance intervals; a more ergonomic cabin; and a state-of-the-art diagnostic system. It is the smallest empty container handler offered by Cargotec.

Yale launches new IC forklifts
Greenville, NC, United States

Yale Materials Handling Corp has launched the GCO50LX cushion tyre and GPO50LX pneumatic tyre internal combustion forklifts.
JB Mayes, Yale's product strategy manager, says the forklifts are suitable for everyday materials handling needs in moderate-duty applications.
"Their low fuel consumption, coupled with their performance and ergonomics, allows [them] to move more loads per gallon of fuel than the competition," Mayes claims.

Hyster Europe's new options
Fleet, United Kingdom

Hyster's empty container handlers have several new developments in addition to the XTL axle that it says reduces tyre wear and costs.
The new "lay-back" mast options on the H16.00-22.00XM-12EC enables the truck to pass easily under overhead obstacles, which are commonly found in port and terminal environments, like bridges or pipelines.
Other options include four versions of "hooks and side-clamps", which means there is now a total of nine empty container engagement systems on Hyster's H16.00-22.00XM-12EC machines.
