Big Swedes go north to Alaska

News Story - 15 Dec 2005
LJUNGBY, Sweden

In this special feature, Forkliftaction.com News reporter Melissa Barnett talks to Svetruck design engineer Daniel Andersson and Alaska Marine Lines (AML) maintenance manager Lester Candee about AML's forklifts on barges in South East Alaska. Have you ever wondered how freight gets delivered in the most inhospitable areas of the world? In South East Alaska, where all the communities are on islands separated by narrow and often shallow channels of water, freight is delivered by AML barges, using Svetruck or Kaldnes-built forklifts. Daniel Andersson, design engineer with Swedish forklift manufacturer Svetruck, said his company got involved with AML when it acquired Kaldnes in 1999. "Kaldnes had been supplying AML with forklifts and we took over the contract to finish delivery of four trucks AML had on order," he said. Delivery of those four trucks increased the AML fleet of heavy forklifts to 20. AML approached Svetruck to build a short wheelbase machine that had the same features as the Kaldnes-built truck but an increased lift capacity from 45 tonnes to 55 tonnes. Putting a forklift on a barge full of containers was not a revolutionary idea, Lester Candee, AML maintenance manager, said. Click here for full story and pictures
