Kalmar has concluded an agreement to supply DP World Lirquen terminal in Chile with a total of nine Kalmar equipment carriers.
The order is comprised of two Kalmar G generation reachstackers, one Kalmar U generation reachstacker for handling laden containers and six Kalmar Ottawa T2 terminal tractors. Kalmar, a subsidiary of Cargotec, booked the order in Cargotec’s third quarter 2020 order intake, with delivery scheduled to be staggered through the fourth quarter of 2020.
The Kalmar Gloria reachstacker has been designed in collaboration with operators, maintenance personnel, production and terminal managers from around the world, according to Kalmar. The machine includes a wide range of features to increase the operator efficiency and the ergonomic EGO cabin provides 360-degree visibility with intuitive controls, as well as advanced diagnostics that makes daily checks and fault resolution quicker and easier, said the Swedish company. In addition, the U generation Kalmar reachstacker has a Spirit Delta Cabin.
The units supplied to Lirquen terminal will incorporate a soft landing and noise dampening system to reduce the noise while handling containers. The safety features include the Pedestrian Detection System and a Fire Suppression System, which can automatically detect and extinguish vehicle fires in seconds, increasing the safety of personnel and equipment alike.
The robust Kalmar Ottawa Terminal Tractors and Kalmar Gloria reachstackers offer all the required efficiency for 24-hour operation enabling the terminal operators to handle containers with safety, stability and precision, including standard ISO, reefers, tanks, specials and flat racks.
All the three reachstackers and six terminal tractors will be fitted with the required hardware to enable them to be connected to Kalmar Insight – a performance management tool for cargo handling operations that turns data into actionable, impactful insights.
“Kalmar and DP World have developed an extremely productive relationship over the years,” Eduardo Prat, vice president, Latin America at Kalmar commented on the long term co-operation of the two companies.
