SAAM orders Kalmar terminal equipment

Kalmar has concluded an agreement with Sudamericana, Agencias Aereas y Maritimas (SAAM) to supply a total of 16 Kalmar Ottawa T2 terminal tractors for its terminals in Chile and Ecuador.

The Cargotec subsidiary booked the order in Cargotec’s 2020 second-quarter order intake, with delivery scheduled to take place during the fourth quarter of 2020.

With a network consisting of ten ports in six countries, the SAAM group is the fourth-largest port operator in South America and a partner to the world’s major shipping companies. The company has operations in Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and the US. Of the 16 new terminal tractors, five will be operated at SAAM’s Guayaquil terminal in Ecuador and 11 at its San Antonio Terminal Internacional in Chile, the country’s main port.

Kalmar says its Ottawa T2 Terminal Tractor is available in DOT/EPA-certified and off-road configurations, the T2 is a purpose-built truck featuring an ergonomic cab design, fast fifth-wheel lifting and easy-access service points to speed up routine checks and servicing.

All 16 terminal tractors delivered to SAAM will include the Kalmar Insight performance management tool, which will provide the team at SAAM with access to real-time data such as running hours, fuel consumption, idle time, production time, distance travelled and other key operational indicators.

This will allow them to track equipment performance and usage, manage maintenance activities and ultimately help them to improve their operations.
