Kalmar updates spreader and RTG
STOCKHOLM, Sweden
Kalmar has introduced Max Stable, a new spreader design that features an anti-sway system for quicker and more accurate spreader movements.
It consists of an eight-rope reeving system without the need for auxiliary ropes for faster, no-sway micro-movements.
Kalmar says rubber-tyred gantry crane users will experience better load stability control with Max Stable because all eight ropes hoist the spreader's cargo.
Kalmar Industries has also updated its all-electric rubber-tyred gantry crane, the E-One, for the first time since its launch in 2005.
The E-One has been updated in response to customer feedback in these areas: improved maintenance access, new cabin and trolley access, fewer maintenance points, state-of-the-art cable chain, faster on-site assembly and hoist ropes that are easier to change.
