Kalmar to service RTGs at Durban’s Pier 1 Container Terminal Transnet Port Terminals (TPT), previously known as South African Port Operations, has awarded Kalmar Industries a maintenance contract for all rubber-tired equipment in use at the Port of Durban's new Pier 1 Container Terminal.
   A dedicated maintenance team of about 20 Kalmar service technicians will take care of 18 Kalmar E-One rubber-tired gantry cranes, two Kalmar reachstackers and a range of other-branded machinery including 40 terminal tractors, 47 trailers and two empty container handlers.
