ECT’s new reachstackers for inland terminals
Cargotec has received an order to deliver 13 Kalmar reachstackers and four Kalmar empty container handlers to Europe Container Terminals (ECT), with the sale supported by a five year maintenance agreement.
Cargotec secured the deal owing to the total solution it could deliver with high performance, eco-friendly products and excellent service proven over a longstanding relationship. Scheduled for delivery at the end of last month, the new models; Kalmar DRF 450-60S5 reachstackers, Kalmar DCF 100-45E7 and DCF90-45E6 empty container handlers, will be serviced at one of Cargotec’s service stations.
For ECT, modern facilities and up to date information and communication technologies are vital for an optimum operational output, and the company constantly invests in new equipment and technology. The new equipment from Cargotec and service support fulfill ECT’s criteria. The engines in the Kalmar reachstackers enable the customer to comply with the current emission legislation without sacrificing performance or fuel efficiency. The equipment will be used at the inland terminals of ECT.
The Kalmar reachstackers are fitted with the latest Volvo diesel engines which use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to deliver near zero NOx and harmful particulate emissions. This achieves compliance with the 2011 EU stage 3B and EPA Tier 4i emission regulations set for all off-road equipment powered by engines of 129kW and above.
Significant reduction in emissions is achieved without affecting capacity or productivity, safety and quality. Furthermore, there is no increase in service intervals or costly downtime as the system is designed to last the lifetime of the engine.
Cargotec’s reliable and highly flexible Kalmar reachstackers enable deepsea and inland terminals, including rail terminals, to handle containers with efficiency. The heavy duty DRF450-60S5 model selected by ECT boasts a capacity of 45,000kg, smooth automatic gearshift and smart operator controls.
