Kalmar to deliver four new reachstackers

Kalmar has received an order for four Gloria reachstackers equipped with new K-Motion technology from Associated British Ports’ (ABP) Immingham Container Terminal.

K-Motion, which is a new drive train system embedded into the programming of Gloria reachstackers, is expected to increase efficiency and productivity by elevating uptime, ergonomics and safety, while at the same time reducing fuel consumption and running costs.

The order, which will add to the port’s existing Kalmar fleet of seven units, is part of a significant investment by ABP to modernise their fleet to meet the growing demand for short sea container transit at the port.
