Nine Kalmars for Italian terminal

Italian RoRo terminal operator Messina Group has taken delivery of nine Kalmar Gloria DRG450 reachstackers.

Each of the reachstackers have features such as Eco drive modes, and the Kalmar SmartFleet remote monitoring and reporting solution to help improve operational performance. The order also includes a Kalmar Complete Care maintenance contract, which has an option to upgrade equipment after five years. The company's fleet already includes Kalmar reachstackers and heavy forklift trucks for various cargo-handling operations.

Nine DRG450 reachstackers have been delivered

Messina Group managing director Roberto Ferrari said: "We appreciate Kalmar Gloria reachstackers for their performances and superb reliability. By ordering Kalmar equipment as part of a leasing and maintenance package, we benefit from the peace of mind that comes from knowing that all maintenance will be carried out proactively and punctually. We have an excellent partnership with the local Kalmar team and there are no financial surprises as we just have one regular monthly charge. This new delivery and the Kalmar Complete Care contract will not only help us optimise our reachstacker fleet, but will also increase safety and productivity, and improve our operational efficiency and financial predictability."
