Cargotec has delivered four Kalmar
DRT450-type reachstackers to a
major freight forwarder and logistics
specialist in Australia. They will be
used for rugged heavy-duty handling
at the Australian Maritime Complex
in Henderson, Western Australia.

The DRT450 reachstacker has
been designed to meet the needs of
Asia-Pacific customers. It offers a lift
capacity of 45,000kg, has a wheelbase
of 6250mm and can stack 9ft 6in
containers up to five high. The new
series is available with a hydraulic
sliding driver cabin, and two engine
options are offered.

The customer uses the DRT450
reachstackers to handle 20 and 40ft
container loads moving through the
AMC for regional offshore
developments. One of the key
handling requirements for the
machines is to load barges via stern
ramps for towage to the North
Western Shelf. The machines will
also be used to lift breakbulk cargo.
