The empty container handlers are constructed on the G-Generation platform of Kalmar, which offers easier maintenance and comfortable and ergonomic working conditions for the operators.

The equipment will be deployed at facilities in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

ACFS Strategy and Developments general manager Akshay Hingorani said: “Kalmar’s local presence and the quality of their services were a key to us for placing this significant order. As we are running a 24-hour business, service and parts support is vital to keep our operation going.

“A full-scope service contract will also help us improve our operational predictability, reduce operational risk and equipment downtime. We were also impressed by Kalmar’s eco-efficient reachstacker technology, which can reduce fuel consumption by up to 40% compared to older machines.”

Kalmar Australia key account manager Kirwan Barr added: “We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with ACFS and look forward to supporting them in achieving their business objectives.

“They recognised the quality of our solutions and wanted to align their business with Kalmar who are leading the world in this technology space. This order also reflects the excellent work of our service and parts team on the ground.”
