In the Australia, 16 YSX40E all-electric yard spreaders are headed to the Brisbane terminals of Dubai Ports World.
In the Middle East, a total of 14 YSX40E all-electric yard spreaders have been ordered for delivery to the Port of Beirut in Lebanon.
Finally, in Europe 4 YSX45E yard spreaders have been ordered for the Port of Valencia in Spain.
These new green spreader orders come on the heels of many other large all-electric orders during 2012, especially for automated terminals. Most recently, Bromma has won an order from Long Beach Container Terminal LLC in the United States for 50 ship-to-shore and yard all-electric spreaders.
In addition to energy savings and emission reductions all-electrics produce dramatic operational cost savings as well. All-electrics have fewer service points, and require no fluids or hoses. They eliminate the risk of groundwater contamination while reducing maintenance and operational costs.
