Kalmar's record reachstacker lift

摘要

Kalmar's latest reachstacker, dubbed Super Gloria, lifted a record 100 tonnes at its factory in Lidhult, Sweden in September. But even before the corks finished popping, Kalmar executives were already hinting of bigger things to come. Dan Pettersson, senior vice president of Kalmar mobile equipment, told Port Strategy: "We can go bigger. Super Gloria can safely lift up to 120 tonnes and if the customer has requirements for even heavier loads we will of course talk." Stefan Johansson, director, Sales and Marketing, Kalmar Reachstackers and Empty Container Handlers, added: "I'm sure it's not the last record we set." The first order for the world's largest reachstacker is for a steel mill outside of Hannover, Germany. Broken down, Super Gloria will need six trucks for onward transportation to its new home.
