This additional step not only increases handling time but also leads to congestion and inefficiencies in the overall supply chain. Combilift’s C-Series range of multidirectional forklifts, which have load capacities of up to 25t, operates as “three forklifts in one”, replacing multiple types of trucks. This significantly reduces the fleet size required and eliminates time-consuming double handling. Products can go straight from the ship’s vessel to the warehouse without the need for additional transfers, greatly reducing waiting times, improving turnaround efficiency and streamlining the cargo-handling process. The C-Series is engineered for safe, space-efficient handling of long and bulky products in confined areas. Its innovative multidirectional capability enables sideways navigation, eliminating the need for overhead carrying in narrow aisles and tight spaces. This design significantly reduces the risk of injury or collision and helps to optimise warehouse space effectively.
Hyster – A30 Hyster will highlight its range of configurable port, terminal and intermodal cargo handling equipment Visitors can talk to Hyster about its full line of empty and laden container handling equipment, configurable to meet the unique requirements of port and terminal operations. Hyster equipment offers an ergonomic cabin and controls that support productivity, comfort and familiarity for operators, along with the performance, durability, easy serviceability and expert support that Hyster customers enjoy. The company leverages its global footprint to minimise lead and transit time so that ports spend less time waiting for equipment and service and can get up and running quickly. Today’s container handling operations face a myriad of pressures, from volume swings, tight storage space, evolving regulations,
labour challenges, noise and emissions reduction goals. But in a global market, no two operations are the same, and that variability translates into diverse requirements for container handling equipment. Hyster provides operations with the flexibility to configure equipment distinctly for their operational requirements, with capacities up to 101,000lbs, internal combustion and electric power, and a broad range of other options. The Hyster ReachStacker can be equipped for a range of applications, including container handling and stacking, second rail handling, container dumping, barge handling and transporting steel. The elevated cab option provides operators with an enhanced view when working in second rail operations or handling containers on a barge – and even enables operators to tilt the cab backward when stacking containers at height. The operator cab includes an armoured glass top window and curved front and rear windows for all-around visibility, as well as ergonomic seating, multifunctional joystick and performance displays to aid operator productivity. On-demand hydraulics, cooling and performance modes provide flexibility to prioritise power or fuel savings, while major components are designed for easy access to expedite service.
Kalmar – C10 Kalmar is aiming to drive innovation and strengthen connections in Latin America. “For us, this event is more than just an exhibition,” it says. “It is the ideal platform to reconnect with our customers, listen to their challenges, and gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics shaping the regional supply chain.” Kalmar offers a wide range of heavy
material handling equipment and services for ports, terminals, distribution centres, manufacturing and heavy logistics. This year, Kalmar will be highlighting its eco- efficient equipment portfolio, which includes
TALKING TOC
The speaker sessions are split between CSC Live, looking at some of the key trends, challenges and issues; and the TECH TOC roster which features panel discussions and presentations on specific technologies. CSC Live kicks off by asking what is the
forecast on maritime trade and flows of cargo. This will include the impacts of geopolitics on port operations, and how the ports sector can prepare for future free trade or protectionist measures. It will look at how trade and shipping lanes are going to evolve in the foreseeable future as well as factors influencing ocean freight rates. Building on this theme, the Tuesday
afternoon session looks at managing supply chain complexities across the Americas, followed by a focus on cold chain to round off day one. Beyond that, look out for the first session on Wednesday, which explores how to generate added value through port infrastructure development. Thursday’s first session will cover another key topic: asking what are the tangible benefits of innovation in the ports and logistics sectors? Meanwhile, make time to visit the TECH
TOC series, too. The whole programme is excellent, but we recommend Tuesday afternoon’s session on real-world productivity benefits of automation in terminals. Wednesday’s highlight is a talk on how new tech and cargo handling equipment can boost port efficiency, while Thursday’s one to watch is all about enhancing digital connectivity across the terminal and beyond.
electrified solutions that help reduce emissions without compromising performance. It will also be showcasing its service and support capabilities that ensure reliability throughout the equipment’s life cycle. Each year, Kalmar contributes to the TECH

TOC conference programme, where thought leaders, terminal operators, and technology providers come together to discuss the latest innovations and trends.” These sessions are invaluable to us as they provide the opportunity to share our vision for automation, electrification, and digitalisation, while also learning directly from the experiences of customers and partners across the region,” says a spokesperson. From a Kalmar Latam perspective, TOC Americas holds unique importance. “Latin America and the Caribbean are undergoing rapid change, characterised by growing
