Lomé Container Terminal (LCT) has ordered nine Konecranes lift trucks to support its expansion and rising operational demands. The delivery, scheduled for the second quarter of 2026, includes two SMV 4632 TC5 reach stackers and seven SMV 7/8 ECC90 empty container handlers. This investment strengthens the long-term partnership between the terminal and Konecranes, as LCT continues to develop as a key regional logistics hub in West Africa.
The new equipment will replace older units within LCT’s existing fleet, which already features 32 Konecranes rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs). The reach stackers will manage container operations across the yard, while the empty container handlers will facilitate efficient stacking and repositioning. These machines are designed with high safety and ergonomic standards and are equipped with TRUCONNECT® Remote Monitoring to provide real-time performance insights and support preventative maintenance.
The order is being handled in collaboration with Paterson Simons, Konecranes’ regional distributor, which provides sales and after-sales support across West and Central Africa.
