The contract between Kalmar and Piattaforma Logistica Trieste S.r.l (PLT) will involve supply of four Kalmar Eco Reachstackers for the operator’s new terminal at the Port of Trieste.

“The Eco Reachstacker demonstrates our commitment to developing solutions that help customers to minimise their environmental impact while improving productivity,” said Marco Tosi, Country Director, Kalmar Italia.

Environmental focus

PLT is a partnership formed to build and operate a new marine terminal in the Port of Trieste, northern Italy, in a public-private partnership with the Trieste Port Authority.

The operator’s strong focus on environmental issues such as emissions and noise reduction was a key driver behind selecting the Kalmar Eco Reachstacker.

The machines, the first of their kind to be delivered to a customer in Italy, will have a lifting capacity of 45 tonnes and will be equipped with extra features to reduce noise, including an insulation kit and soft-landing function with ultrasonic sensor.

In comparison to older machines, the Kalmar Eco Reachstacker consumes up to 40% less fuel, helping operators to cut fuel costs and emissions while matching the productivity levels of machines with much larger engines.

Delivery is scheduled for the beginning of the second quarter of 2021.
