Based on the operational performance in the third quarter and particularly in
September, Cargotec's visibility on the timing and profitability of deliveries
during the remainder of the year has increased. As a result Cargotec specifies
upwards its operating profit guidance. Operating profit for 2010 is estimated to
be in the range of EUR 120-130 million. Earlier operating profit was estimated
to exceed EUR 100 million. Both the previous and now specified operating profit
guidance includes one-time restructuring costs.

Cargotec repeats its sales guidance published in July. Cargotec's 2010 sales are
estimated to be on 2009 level for both Industrial & Terminal and Marine
