Portlink Logistics Centre Ltd., a part of the MGH Group, has ordered two Konecranes E-ACE 6/7 ECC10 DS electric empty container handlers. The machines, which are now available globally, are scheduled for delivery to the company’s container yard in Chattogram by the end of Q3 2025. This investment is part of Portlink’s goal to be a leader in lowering carbon emissions within Bangladesh’s logistics industry.
Sustainable and Efficient Technology
The new electric container handlers are the fully electric version of the Konecranes Liftace model. They operate with zero tailpipe emissions and are powered by a high-voltage battery that allows for 6-12 hours of operation before needing a recharge. The technology also allows up to 15% of expended energy to be regenerated and stored. In addition to being more environmentally friendly, the electric handlers offer improved operational performance, with lifting speeds and acceleration up to 20% faster than their diesel counterparts. The machines also reduce noise and vibration by up to 50%, significantly improving operator comfort.
Digital Features and Long-Term Value
Each of the two units ordered by Portlink is equipped with TRUCONNECT® Premium, a system that includes tire pressure monitoring and provides real-time insights into energy consumption and other equipment metrics. Syed Iqbal Ali, CEO at MGH Group, stated that the investment supports the company’s sustainability targets without compromising on performance and is expected to lead to a significant reduction in operational and maintenance costs over time. This order builds on Portlink’s previous investment in Konecranes equipment in 2020, where it was the first customer in Bangladesh to equip its reach stackers with Power Drive, a feature that lowers fuel consumption.
