Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has received an order for three Kalmar Gloria
reachstackers and one Kalmar empty container handler to PD Ports' Teesport
facility in the United Kingdom. The order was signed in July 2014 with delivery
in December 2014.
Jerry Hopkinson, PD Ports Managing Director - Bulks and Port Services said,
"Kalmar's innovative technology, especially in the new cabin, was an important
factor in our decision. At PD Ports, health and safety is our number one
priority and these new machines will help us to further promote a safe working
environment for our employees." The deal also reflects the port's focus on an
ever improving service for customers, as well as increased throughput and
enhanced efficiency.
PD Ports is an award-winning ports and logistics business that offers end-to-end
supply chain solutions. Headquartered in northeast England, the company operates

leading productivity and lifetime value. The product of decades of research and
development, Gloria is now regarded as the industry's most innovative and
reliable reachstacker, with significantly lower maintenance requirements and
downtime than competing machines.

have been considerably improved, including a reversing camera with integrated
