Parsec Inc., a leading provider of contracted terminal management services in North America, has ordered a further 150 Kalmar terminal tractors from Cargotec, adding to the 200 similar tractors the company ordered earlier this year for use at its 30 locations.
The equipment will by used to supplement Parsec’s expanding rail operations; the company estimates that each year it handles approximately 45% of all trailers and containers travelling by rail in the region.
The latest order was placed in Q4-2010 and delivery of the units is scheduled to begin in Q1-2011.
"As container volumes in Canada, Mexico and the US rise, we are gearing up to meet the demand at all major transportation interchanges," explained David Budig, vice-president of Parsec.
