Cargotec Introduces Reachstackers

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 18/1/2010

Cargotec continues to develop its range of Kalmar reachstackers. The latest addition to the product range is the Kalmar DFR420-450L. This reachstacker model has performance and functions that are suitable for terminals with medium capacity and average operational requirements.

Mikael Persson, VP, Reachstackers and Empty Container Handlers at Cargotec, sees that as containerization continues, new customers and new markets are opening up for container handling equipment.

“Some of our new customers do not have the operational requirements that we offer with our current models, and some new applications will not need heavy and intensive usage of their machine. We will ensure that we can meet this growing need for cost-effective, productive and flexible container handling. That’s why we present the DRF L reachstacker – a streamlined machine with increased customer value. Its performance and functions have been specially developed for the day-to-day reality at terminals that form part of the continental distribution chain.”

Reachstackers minimize moves, especially with second or third row picking ability. Kalmar DRF L reachstackers have a lifting capacity of up to 45 tons in first, 30 tons in the second and 15 tons in the third row of containers. It can lift containers to five high and the container can be picked or dropped-off by the machine approaching from any angle <90 degrees.
