YILPORT updates port equipment with 19 Konecranes lift trucks across three continents
International terminal operator CoreX Ports & Terminals/YILPORT Holding, Inc. has received 5 reach stackers, 5 empty container handlers and 9 forklifts to increase its container handling efficiency at terminals in Ghana, El Salvador, and Portugal. The trucks were ordered in batches throughout 2025 and are now in service.
CoreX Ports & Terminals/YILPORT Holding operates 22 Marine and 5 inland terminals in 12 countries and relies on a fleet of container handling equipment to meet strict customer deadlines in a wide range of demanding environments. To keep up with demand, YILPORT decided to replace older equipment at four of its terminals with 19 of the latest Konecranes lift trucks to ensure continued safe and efficient operations and maximum uptime.
"We appreciate Konecranes' continued participation in YILPORT's equipment purchase tenders and their responsiveness to our operational requirements. The addition of these reach stackers, empty container handlers, and forklifts further strengthens our equipment fleet across multiple regions, supporting higher productivity, operational resilience, and service reliability. As we continue to expand our global terminal network, investments in modern equipment remain a key driver in delivering efficient and competitive port services to our customers worldwide," says Erhan Çiloğlu, Deputy CEO & CMO, YILPORT Holding.
"This delivery reflects YILPORT's confidence in Konecranes. We're proud to have delivered the right solution with our Turkish distribution partner Portunus playing a key role to make this happen, supported by our unmatched global after-sales service through our distribution partner network," says John Elisson, Regional Director MEA, Lift Trucks, Konecranes.
The 5 reach stackers, 5 empty container handlers, and 9 forklifts meet a wide range of capacities and handling requirements at each of YILPORT's four terminals. For deeper insights, TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring will collect usage data and send it via secure mobile connection to the KONECRANES customer portal, where YILPORT can follow one truck, a group of trucks or its entire lift truck fleet around the world. With up-to-date information about truck performance, YILPORT can analyze and optimize its operations.
