Cooperation
Galloo contacted Mantsinen through local dealer Heavy Handling, who convinced them to choose the Mantsinen telehandler. The company decided to purchase the Mantsinen 160M material handling machine to make the export terminal more efficient.
“When we expanded Galloo Gent, we needed a robust crane that could handle the heavy scrap loads. We also wanted the machine to be very flexible so that it could be easily moved around the terminal. Thirdly, the crane also had to have low operating costs “These criteria led us to choose the Mantsinen 160M,” says Lieven Neerinck.
