Kalmar's ContChamp DRF reach stacker.

Kalmar Industries has secured an order from Libra Terminais S/A, in Brazil, for 13 ContChamp DRF reach stackers for delivery to its container terminal facilities at the ports of Santos and Rio de Janeiro.

The machines will have a lifting capacity of 45 tons and stack containers six high.

Delivery of the first batch of five ContChamps will be to Libra's Terminal 35 and Terminal 37 at the Port of Santos in August.

Eight more units will be delivered, in two batches of four in October and November, to replace rented reach stackers at Santos and Libra's Terminal 1-RIO at Rio de Janeiro.

Kalmar reach stacker product manager Per Rosengren said: "Kalmar Brazil will train its staff in Sweden and, together with our significant knowledge of the rubber-tyred-gantry crane business in Brazil, we will use our reachstacker expertise to enhance our overall presence in the Brazilian market."
