Kalmar Gloria reachstackers enter Asia-Pacific - Seite 2

Furthermore, the cabin offers over 90% guaranteed all-round visibility, even in the worst weather conditions. It features a head-up display with LED indicator, electronic climate control adjustable for different environmental conditions and a human machine interface, all of which combine to improve the operator experience.

Service strengths help to lower cost of ownership

Kalmar has also introduced radical changes to the service intervals and, as a result, calculated significant cost savings across many of the service related intervals. A two-year or 4,000-hour warranty now comes as standard; the first machine service has been extended from 50 to 500 hours and the hydraulic oil change interval extended from 2,000 to 4,000 hours or more with the Oil Sample Programme. Engine oil servicing is now also extended from 500 to 1,000 hours and the servo filter from 500 to 1,000 hours.

Dan Pettersson, Senior Vice President, Mobile Equipment at Kalmar, "We are very much looking forward to launching Gloria into the Asia-Pacific region. Of course, APAC is one of the most competitive markets for this type of equipment. However, given the success we have experienced in other parts of the world, we are confident that Gloria will quickly establish its credentials and popularity. This machine is without doubt a milestone in reachstacker design with numerous features that enhance productivity and significantly reduce the cost of ownership."

Stefan Johansson, Director, Sales and Marketing, Kalmar Reachstackers and Empty Container Handlers, added: "Kalmar continually invests in developing not only our products but also our customer support services. The quality of our reachstackers is reflected in the remarkable team that supports our equipment around the globe. As we now turn our attention to the opportunities presented in key markets like China, we will deliver the same commitment to help our customers run their businesses efficiently and profitably."
