Gloria reachstackers extend Kalmar's cooperation with Associated British Ports
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 4 DECEMBER 2014 AT 11 AM (EET)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, will deliver two Gloria reachstackers to the Hams Hall
Rail Terminal in Birmingham, operated by Associated British Ports (ABP). The
order was signed in August 2014 with delivery in December 2014. The deal will
enable ABP to continue to meet key performance indicators for its blue chip
customers, including a tight 30-minute turnaround time. Both machines will be
supplied with Kalmar's unique integrated ground-stabilizer system, which
increases the capacity of the machine in second and third rail operations.
"At Hams Hall we value our drivers and want to give them the best tools for the
job. Kalmar's excellent cab ergonomics and after-sales support were key to the
deal," says Mike Gibson, Hams Hall Terminal Manager.
The fifth-generation Gloria DRG450 reachstacker offers customers market-leading
productivity and lifetime value. The product of decades of research and
development, Gloria is now regarded as the highest quality, most innovative and
reliable reachstacker available today, with significantly lower maintenance
requirements and downtime than competing solutions.
For drivers, the EGO cab offers an all-new operating experience with a panoramic
view, intuitive interfaces and ergonomically designed controls. With Gloria's
technology delivering an improved operator experience, safety standards have
been considerably improved. Gloria reachstackers include a reversing camera with
integrated proximity sensors and a tyre-pressure monitoring system as standard.
The deal extends Kalmar's cooperation with ABP, adding to the four Kalmar
reachstackers already in use. ABP is the UK's leading ports group, operating 21
ports around the country with a total annual TEU of 100,000.
