Cargotec Subsidiary Hiab Wins Nearly EUR 4 Million Order for Heavy Duty Tail Lifts in the U.S.

(PRESS RELEASE) HELSINKI, 9-Jan-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Cargotec Corporation (HEL: CGCBV), a Finnish company that makes cargo-handling machinery for ships, ports, terminals and local distribution, has announced that its subsidiary Hiab, a leading provider of smart and sustainable load handling solutions, has received an order worth approximately EUR 4 million from a national retailer in the United States for WALTCO tail lifts. The tail lifts, which are designed for durability and ease of use, will be delivered in 2023. The retailer has 25 distribution centers in the US and retail stores in 47 states, and has been a WALTCO customer for 18 years.

“For almost twenty years WALTCO has delivered safe, efficient and reliable performance to this customer, supported by our US-wide service network. We are very happy to be recognised for this and looking forward to deepening our relationship following this new large order,” says Martin Saint, Vice President, Sales & Product Management, Tail Lifts, Hiab.

The WALTCO WDV railgate’s innovative design ensures ease of operation and low maintenance requirements. The reliable performance is supported by the hydraulic circuit design and automatic self-levelling system that allow the load to be offset without compromising capacity, and the platform lifts parallel to the truck bed, even on uneven road surfaces. The WDV provides safer operation with platform warning lights that automatically flash when the liftgate is in operation and a ridged aluminium knurled surface creating a non-slip environment.

WALTCO WDV railgates are available in lifting capacities of 3,500 lb., 4,500 lb., 5,500 lb. and 6,600 lb.
