PTI Preferred Partner, Kalmar, have been chosen to deliver two super-heavy forklift trucks to specialist industrial services provider Pentti Hämeenaho Oy.
The forklift trucks will be deployed at the Raahe steel mill in north-western Finland, where they will aid with logistical operations.

They will be used to handle steel coils weighing anything from five to 30 tons, and will be capable of single and double coil lifting.
