Kalmar to deliver a large fleet of container handling machines to DP World Australia
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, TRADE PRESS RELEASE, 23 AUGUST 2017 AT 2 PM (EEST)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, continues its long-term cooperation with DP World
Australia, the country's largest stevedore, with orders of 38 new machines for
its new logistics arm, DP World Logistics Australia. The orders include 7 Kalmar
reachstackers, 11 loaded and 20 empty container handlers. 22 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
order was booked into Cargotec's 2017 first quarter intake.
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 DP World Australia's semi-
automated terminal in Brisbane.
Kalmar 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
Kalmar machines will be powered by Volvo IV Final engines to meet emissions
standards and will feature the Kalmar SmartFleet system for performance-boosting
remote monitoring and reporting.
Ron French, National Engineering Manager at DP World Australia: "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. The K-Motion option was very attractive due to lower fuel
consumption and environmental impact."
Michael Wahab, Director Mobile Equipment at Kalmar: "We are happy to continue to
serve DP World Logistics Australia with reliable and efficient equipment
tailored to their needs. The units are also equipped with environmentally
conscious technology, including innovative K-Motion technology to significantly
lessen fuel usage and reduce emissions by up to 40%."
