Kalmar to Deliver 60 Terminal Tractors to Rail Firm

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, will deliver 60 Kalmar Ottawa T2 off-highway terminal tractors to Rail Management Services in the USA. The order has been booked into Cargotec‘s 2015 third quarter order intake and the deliveries will run into early 2016.

Ed Morgenthaler, vice president of rail management services, said: “We provide quality service to railroads and want to ensure the safety of our employees and the environment. We chose Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors because of their consistent reliability, availability of original parts as well as their competitive pricing. The T2s galvanized chassis meets the tough load demands in our terminals and provide more strength, better protection and less maintenance to the equipment.”

Rail Management Services operates in 38 rail terminals throughout the USA. The company has purchased altogether 160 Kalmar Ottawa units over the past three years, including the latest order of 60 terminal tractors.
