Kalmar secures 34 reachstacker deal

Kalmar has secured an order for 34 Kalmar Gloria reachstackers from the European ro-ro terminal operator, C.RO Ports SA.

Increased uptime: Kalmar’s Gloria reachstackers help improve efficiency and productivity

The new Kalmar Gloria reachstackers will replace existing equipment and support C.RO Ports SA’s and CLdN roro SA’s growth plans over the next five years, driven by the need to efficiently handle increasingly larger vessels.

These machines join a fleet of 19 Kalmar reachstackers. Of the 34 Kalmar DRG450 Gloria reachstackers delivered, 19 will be equipped with Kalmar’s K-Motion drive train technology and SmartFleet remote monitoring solution.

Kalmar K-Motion helps increase efficiency and productivity of the terminal by improving reachstacker uptime, ergonomics and safety, while also reducing both fuel consumption and emissions by up to 40%.

SmartFleet meanwhile helps improve operational transparency to the terminal management and reduces downtime through remote equipment monitoring and reporting.

Deliveries are planned to take place between December 2016 and December 2017.
