Kalmar secures follow-up order from Crowley for top loaders and reachstackers
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 11 AUGUST 2016 AT 10 AM (EEST)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has received orders for seven top loaders from Crowley Liner Services for operation in Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida, and eight reachstackers from Crowley
Puerto Rico Services for operation in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The orders were booked in Cargotec's 2016 second quarter order intake, with delivery taking place during the first quarter of
2017.
Crowley is investing heavily in new vessels, terminal upgrades, and terminal operating systems to facilitate growth. Part of that investment includes upgrading its container handling fleet as the
company switches to grounded operations. Three of the Kalmar top loaders and all of the reachstackers will have Wide Twistlock Position (WTP) spreaders, and all units will be delivered with Kalmar
SmartFleet remote monitoring solution to improve operational performance.
Vincent Hruska, Sales Manager, Kalmar Counterbalanced Equipment, says: "The order is a follow up to the five Kalmar machines delivered to Crowley in 2015 and
demonstrates their confidence in Kalmar's product reliability, Tier 3 engines, and support network. In 2015 Kalmar sold a record number of top loaders in North America and this deal continues that
trend."
