The Port of Saint Helena has significantly strengthened its cargo handling capabilities following the delivery of new specialist equipment. Forkliftcenter has supplied the port with a brand-new Kalmar reachstacker and a MAFI terminal tractor, along with a range of trailers and supporting accessories.

This investment marks an important step forward for the remote South Atlantic port, enabling more efficient handling of containerised cargo and streamlining terminal operations. The Kalmar reachstacker is widely regarded as a leading solution for container handling, offering reliable performance and improved productivity, while the MAFI terminal tractor is designed to deliver robust and efficient movement of trailers within port environments.

The addition of this modern equipment is expected to enhance throughput, reduce turnaround times, and support the smooth flow of goods in and out of Saint Helena. For freight forwarders and shippers serving this region, the upgraded infrastructure represents a welcome improvement in logistics capability.
