Reachstackers push capacity expansion

Three of the machines will be delivered to the company's container terminal in Valparaiso and three to their terminal in San Antonio, both of which are located on the Pacific coast in central Chile. The new Kalmar Gloria reachstackers form part of a fleet renewal programme and will help Sitrans address a need for improved efficiency driven by growing demand at both locations. They will join a large existing fleet of Kalmar machines including empty container handlers already operated by the company.

The Kalmar G Generation reachstacker has been designed in collaboration with operators, maintenance personnel, and production and terminal managers from around the world. It includes a wide range of features that increase operator efficiency, including the ergonomic EGO cabin with superb visibility and intuitive controls, as well as advanced diagnostics to make daily checks and fault resolution quicker and easier.

The machines delivered to Sitrans will also include a number of features designed to increase operational safety. These include the Kalmar Reverse Warning System, and Kalmar Insight, a performance management tool.
