Kalmar delivers first new Essential Range of reach stacker to Vietnam

Kalmar's Essential Range has gained resoundingly good responses in China

“The new Essential Range of reach stacker has all features that customers expect from the Kalmar brand—the pioneer in the port industry. The Kalmar Essential Range of port equipment will be able to match the requirements of most ports, ICD, and depots in Vietnam and we are delighted that Sao A has selected us,” said Teo Yew Boon, vice president of Kalmar South & Southeast Asia.

The new Essential Range of Kalmar mobile equipment was launched to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region last November in Hong Kong and has since received astounding response from clients in the region. Based on Kalmar’s proven G-generation platform, the Essential Range includes reach stackers, empty container handlers, and forklifts.

The Essential Range of reach stackers (DRU450-570) comprises of four models, with lifting capacities ranging from 45 to 57 tonnes. These machines can be delivered with a spreader or hook, making them suitable for handling containers or for industrial applications, such as handling steel coils.

There is a choice of three efficient driveline combinations and either EU3/Tier 3 or Tier 4/EU 4F emissions standards compliant engines.

The Kalmar Essential range of empty container handlers (DCU80-100) offers a choice of three different lifting capacities—8, 9, and 10 tonnes—and four different mast heights each with different stacking capabilities.

Just as with Essential reach stackers, customers can select from three driveline combinations and emissions standards compliant engines. All Essential Range reach stackers and empty container handlers come fitted with a load sensing hydraulic system, which measures the load and applies the right amount of power to move it efficiently.

The Essential Range of forklifts (DCG100-180T) comprises of 12 models, with capacities ranging from 10 to 18 tonnes that can be customised with a variety of power, mast, cabin, and safety options. They can be used for a diverse range of demanding applications, including container, steel, and wood handling.

All Kalmar Essential Range machines feature an easy-to-maintain electrical system, common driver interface, and high-quality components.

The new Essential cabin helps driver comfort and safety with excellent all-round visibility, power steering, and easy lift operation, as well as non-slip stairs and handrails.

The Essential Range of machines are also compatible with Kalmar SmartFleet, a powerful equipment monitoring and optimisation tool that makes it easy to analyse performance data, helping to further improve efficiency and productivity.

The Kalmar Essential Range of machines can be enquired after directly from Kalmar’s authorised dealer Unico Vina JSC located in Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong. They are part of the strong sales network Kalmar has across the Asia-Pacific, aiming to provide better services to local customers.
