Kalmar wins orders for 38 container handling machines from DP World Australia
KALMAR, part of Cargotec, has received orders for 38 new machines from DP World Australia's new logistics arm, DP World Logistics Australia. The orders include seven Kalmar reachstackers, 11 loaded and 20 empty container handlers.
Twenty-two units have successfully been delivered to DP World Logistics Australia's Botany Intermodal terminal with the remaining equipment to be delivered by September 2017.
The new machines add to DP World Australia's existing fleet of Kalmar rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs), straddle carriers and terminal tractors, and will serve operations in Sydney, Melbourne, Fremantle and the semi-automated terminal in Brisbane.
The reachstackers will be equipped with Kalmar K-Motion transmission technology, which secures uptime and productivity while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Four units will also include overheight legs. All the machines will be powered by Volvo IV Final engines to meet emissions standards and will feature the SmartFleet system for performance-boosting remote monitoring.
National Engineering manager at DP World Australia, Ron French, said in a statement: "Kalmar won a competitive tender to renew, and increase, our fleet of machines in all our facilities around Australia. Our existing relationship gave us leverage to secure the best outcome for DP World Australia with respect to pricing, service and ongoing support."
