Cargotec - Company Announcement

Cargotec wins a significant material handling equipment frame agreement from U.S. Department of Defense

CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 13 OCTOBER 2011 AT 2 P.M. (EEST)

Cargotec has entered into a 5-year frame agreement with U.S. Department of
Defense through its wholly-owned subsidiary Kalmar RT Center (KRTC). Total value
of the 5-year agreement is estimated to be approximately USD 160 million (EUR
113 million). Under the agreement, Cargotec is estimated to supply approximately
1,890 light capability rough terrain forklifts (LCRTF) over the next 5 years.
Cargotec expects to receive delivery orders from Tank-Automotive and Armament
Command (TACOM) in Warren Michigan, USA, in each of those 5 years. Cargotec will
book the order during the 5-year time frame as delivery orders are received.

Bryan Stephens, President of Kalmar RT Center said:"We are excited that this contract continues our great working relationship with
U.S. Department of Defense. This forklift was designed from the ground up for
specifically challenging operations in rough terrain.  We are committed to
providing the same rugged reliability and durability for these LCRTF machines as
in our well-know rough terrain container handler (RTCH). Receiving this landmark
contract clearly demonstrates the customer's trust in our employees and our
ability to provide the best material handling solutions to their operations
throughout the world."

KRTC is also the sole manufacturer of the Kalmar rough terrain container handler
(RTCH) for the U.S. Department of Defence and has delivered over a thousand of
these vehicles.  The LCRTF is an interoperable companion to the RTCH and was
designed to provide customers with maximum savings in total ownership costs.
The LCRTF vehicles will be manufactured by Kalmar RT Center (KRTC) in Cibolo,
Texas. With this frame agreement, the customer plans to replace its existing
fleets of 4- to 5-tonne forklifts.
