Kalmar has received an order for three Kalmar Eco Reachstackers from Yantai Port in China with the delivery expected in July 2022.
These are the first Eco reachstackers to be delivered by Kalmar to a customer in the North China region.
The contract also includes comprehensive training for maintenance technicians and equipment operators.
“Kalmar products are renowed for reliability, quality, safety and as well as for excellent operational performance,” said Wei Jianlu, general manager of Yantai Haotong Machinery Equipment.
“For more than 20 years, Yantai Port has been using Kalmar products. We are honoured to provide long-term service for our customers in Yantai Port and look forward to the excellent performance of the new Eco reachstackers,” he added.
Kalmar and Yantai Port have maintained longstanding cooperation since the 1990s, as evidenced by the fact that the existing Yantai Port fleet consists only of Kalmar products.
The new Kalmar Eco Reachstackers will join the current fleet with over 20 machines on a lease solution to further improve customers’ operational efficiency.
The units will be fitted with the necessary hardware to connect to the Kalmar Insight performance management tool, which will provide the port with access to data in real time.
Alex Tang, interim vice president of Kalmar Greater China, commented, “The Kalmar Eco Reachstackers reduce fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining productivity. Furthermore, the machines will provide an enhanced driving experience with smoother acceleration, lower cab noise and better visibility. In the future, we will continue to contribute to the development of Yantai Port with our flexible and quality solutions, hence helping Yantai Port’s business continue to grow.”
