More Kalmars for PCC

PCC Intermodal of Poland has ordered five more 45 tonne Kalmar reach-stackers

The new orders, which will take the PCC Kalmar fleet to 13 units, will operate at Gliwice, Brzeg Dolny and Kutno rail terminals. The order is booked into Cargotec's third quarter intake, with one unit delivered in July and next ones scheduled for delivery by the end of the year.

The project was partially funded by the Centre of European Transport Projects as part of infrastructure development for Polish intermodal companies. Kalmar says that its experience with co-funded tenders was an important factor in helping the deal along. The order also includes a preventive maintenance package for two years, or 4,000 hours operation, for four of the machines.

Adam Adamek, vice president at PCC Intermodal said: "We have again selected Kalmar primarily because of their ability to meet requirements and deliver high quality equipment on time. Kalmar understands the intermodal transshipment business very well and therefore could tailor a solution that fulfilled our expectations precisely."

Jakub Wojciechowski, senior sales and service manager at Kalmar Poland, added: "The Kalmar reachstackers are exceptionally capable machines. Four of the 45 tonne capacity units are equipped with Volvo Penta TAD1360 EURIIIB engines and the fifth with a Cummins QSM11 EUR111A. Our strategy was to maximise container throughput at PCC's various inland terminals and help to reduce the cost of operation, hence PCC also opted for the preventive maintenance packages which help to maximise machine uptime."
