Five Kalmars for Dutch terminal

Dutch terminal operator Barge Terminal Tilburg (BTT) has taken delivery of five Kalmar Gloria reachstackers.

Four of the company's new reachstackers feature Kalmar K-Motion technology, which is said to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 40 percent. Each of the machines will also be equipped with Kalmar's remote monitoring system SmartFleet. The new units join a fleet that already includes five Kalmar reachstackers operated by the GVT Group and Logistics network.

Five reachstackers have been delivered

BTT managing director Wil Versteijnen said: "In addition to offering fast payback through fuel savings, Kalmar's K-Motion technology significantly reduces the noise generated by reachstacker operations. This is particularly important for us as many of our inland terminals are close to residential areas. Reduced fuel consumption also means lower emission levels, which supports our vision for more environmentally friendly intermodal cargo handling operations."

Kalmar sales and marketing director Alf-Gunnar Karlgren added: "Kalmar K-Motion technology has been developed as a result of listening closely to the needs of our customers. It offers the latest in smart programming and proven transmission technology, and will support BTT in its goal to cut both noise emissions and fuel consumption."
