Hot & cold slab handling

A new design for the Kalmar DRG650-92A5XS reachstacker has resulted in a lift capacity of 65t at 4.0m load centre in dynamic mode (drive), or 65t at 5.0m load centre in static mode (non driving).

The unit will be handling 50t mega steel slabs, measuring 2.7m wide, 12m long and 350mm thick. It is equipped with both an electric lift magnet for handling slabs in cold conditions, and a hydraulic slab grab for hot conditions (up to 800˚C).
