Kalmar secures China rail reachstaker order

Kalmar has made an agreement with China United International Rail Container Co., Ltd (CRIntermodal) for seven Essential Reachstackers for use at their Kunming, Xi’an and Qingdao rail intermodal terminals.

CRIntermodal is a joint venture approved by the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration for Market Regulation of the People’s Republic of China. The organisation’s 12 box terminals in Kunming, Chongqing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Dalian, Qingdao, Wuhan, Xi ‘an, Urumqi, Ningbo, Qinzhou and Tianjin are mainly engaged in rail container freight, loading and unloading operations, multimodal transport and warehousing services.

Five of the new reachstackers will be delivered by Kalmar, a Cargotec subsidiary, to Kunming, one to XI’an and one to Qingdao.

Based on Kalmar’s G-generation platform, the Kalmar Essential Reachstacker features easily accessible service points to make maintenance quicker and easier, the ergonomically designed Essential cabin that makes driving more comfortable, and a range of standard features to increase the safety of operations, according to an announcement.

The vice president, Greater China, Kalmar believes that the new reachstakers are a proven solution that will assist CRIntermodal to increase its operational capacity and support inland development via the railway network.

The units delivered to CRIntermodal will have a lifting capacity of approximately 40 tonnes and they will be fitted with the necessary hardware to enable connection to Kalmar Insight, a performance management tool that turns fleet data into actionable, impactful insights.

A CRIntermodal representative highlighted the long-term cooperation of the two companies, as their collaboration has launched since 2013, while he also commented, “Train operations in our intermodal yards run to very strict timetables, and the Kalmar machines will help to ensure that everything runs smoothly and on time.”

The order of the new equipment was booked in Cargotec’s 2020 third quarter order intake, with delivery scheduled to be completed before the end of the fourth quarter of 2020.
