Hiab, part of Cargotec, announces the launch of the new MULTILIFT TALON – an advanced container handling unit designed to transform logistics for defence forces operating in the most demanding environments making operations smarter, safer and faster.

The MULTILIFT TALON offers an unmatched combination of speed, safety, and efficiency. Built on proven technology, the system enables seamless transitions between Flatrack and ISO Container modes directly from within the vehicle cab, enhancing operational efficiency. Its integration of cutting-edge automation and Hiab’s HiVision technology allows a single operator to control all loading/unloading processes from the safety of the cabin, minimising human error and reducing cycle times significantly.

“The MULTILIFT TALON represents a new standard for defence logistics. It combines battle-tested reliability with advanced technological features, ensuring the forces have the agility and safety they need on the ground,” says Frank van Dongen, Director of Government Business Operations (GBO), Hiab.

3p Logistics are pleased to report the successful delivery of wind turbines parts from Germany and Lithuania to Australia.

The turbine parts consisted of about 300 metric tons in towers and foundation rings.

This cargo was collected from the Port of Rostock in Germany before being transported by a coaster vessel to the Port of Klaipeda, Lithuania.

3p Logistics were responsible for operations such as loading & unloading, lashing & unlashing, customs clearance, and port handling.

Once arrived in Lithuania, the turbine parts were loaded onto an ocean vessel and delivered safely & securely to the final destination in Australia.

Ilya Goncharov, Global Project Manager at 3p Logistics offered his comments on the project:

“The market of wind turbines is a great place for small and mid-sized forwarders. You need to act fast and deliver upon unique solutions. Sometimes, you must get offers from more than 15 suppliers to find 1 solution, even for a small episode of the project.”
