The Port of Maputo has acquired two mechanical sweeper trucks for sweeping of the main road and operational areas of the port including the quayside.
These sweeper trucks, that were acquired from the Dutch company Ravo, aim to replace the old trucks that were not suitable for this kind of operation.
The Ravo trucks are environmentally friendly and equipped with mechanical sweepers that allow the recovery of the collected material, thus minimizing cargo losses during handling.The port has trained employees to run the truck as well as to do the periodic maintenance of it.
The acquisition of this much needed equipment represents an investment of $ 165 000.
