A reachstacker for smaller terminals

Cargotec has launched a new Kalmar reachstacker.

The DRFL has been specially designed for the growing number of terminals with medium capacity and average operational requirements.

Mikael Persson, Cargotec VP for reachstackers and empty container handlers, said: "Some of our new customers do not have the operational requirements we offer with our current models, and some new applications will not need heavy and intensive usage of their machine.

"We can meet this growing need for cost-effective, productive and flexible container handling. The Kalmar DRF L reachstacker is a streamlined machine with increased customer value. "Its performance and functions have been specially developed for the day-to-day reality at terminals that form part of the continental distribution chain.

"It has low operating costs, especially in energy consumption and maintenance."

Container handling with a reachstacker is one of the most flexible handling solutions. They allow handling of loaded containers efficiently in narrow spaces, while ensuring the driver has optimum visibility. Reachstackers minimise moves, especially with second- or third-row picking ability. The Kalmar DRF L reachstacker has a lifting capacity of up to 45 tonnes in the first container row, 30 tonnes in the second and 15 tonnes in the third. It can lift containers to five high, and the container can be picked or dropped-off by the machine approaching from any angle -90 degrees.
