7 Kalmar RTGs for Chile

Kalmar has received an order for seven diesel-electric E-One 2 rubber-tyred gantry cranes from Chilean container terminal operator Puerto Central. Set for delivery at the company’s San Antonio port in 2015, the order is valued at approximately $14 million.

The E-One 2 cranes will be fitted with Kalmar’s optional variable speed generator, which the company claims offers fuel consumption savings of up to 45 percent by automatically optimising the engine’s RPM according to the required power. Additional features include Kalmar’s SmartFleet, SmartStack and SmartRail systems.

Mauricio Argandona, Puerto Central infrastructure and equipment manager, said: “Kalmar RTGs are a well proven product that allows us to ensure the success of our project in the short and long term. In addition, the deal will allow us to focus on other areas of our project, like civil works and subsidiaries' contracts.”
