Kalmar Industries, part of Cargotec Corporation, has been awarded a contract to supply Colombia Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena (SPRC) with a variety of container handling equipment for its new Contecar terminal in Cartagena, on the Caribbean coast. The order includes 30 terminal tractors, seven E-One+ rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes and five reachstackers. The smaller equipment is scheduled to be on-site by November, and the RTGs will be operational by May of 2009.

The five Kalmar DRF450-65S5 reachstackers, designed to tackle the heaviest and most demanding applications, will offer SPRC further advantages in operational flexibility with the capability to lift 45 tonnes in first row of container stacks, 31 tonnes in the second row and 15 tonnes in the third row. The units’ environmentally friendly engines feature low emissions, smoother automatic gear shift and driver controls. Kalmar DRF-series sets new standards for reliability, performance and easy maintenance.
