Kalmar gets order to supply cargo handling equipment for general cargo and intermodal operation at the ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG terminals at Wolfurt
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has been awarded a valuable order from long-standing partner Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) to supply cargo handling equipment for general cargo and intermodal operation at the ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG terminals at Wolfurt, Wels and Wien Süd in Austria. The order was booked into Cargotec's 2015 second quarter order intake, with delivery scheduled to be completed by the fourth quarter, the company said in its press release.
The range of equipment includes seven Kalmar Gloria reachstackers for intermodal handling, three Kalmar TT 618i terminal tractors and one Kalmar DCG 160-12 forklift. All of the machines come with an all-inclusive Kalmar Care maintenance contract and service support provided by Kalmar Austria.
ÖBB and Kalmar have been cooperating for more than two decades, and Terminal Service Austria (TSA), a business division of ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG, already has a significant Kalmar fleet in operation. Terminal Wels in upper Austria will see the replacement of two Kalmar DRD 450-80 C5XS reachstackers, which have been operational since 2000, both of them exceeding a remarkable 40,000 operational hours.
As a neutral service provider, TSA takes care not only of intermodal handling, but also of the transfer of wagon groups and trains from the rail line to the terminal vice versa.
