Kalmar Corporation has entered into a partnership with CES Srl, an Italian manufacturer of super-sized heavy-duty material handling equipment, to distribute and service CES reach stackers over 125 tonnes globally.

Until now, Kalmar’s reach stacker offerings have been limited to a maximum capacity of 130t for the Super Gloria DRG450-1300 with a hook, but the partnership will enable Kalmar to meet customer demands for even larger equipment. The company said that as part of the agreement, Kalmar will also provide training and support to its customers on CES products.

CES has developed super heavy reach stackers with capacities of up to 350 tons, making them unique in the market for both range and technology. To achieve these lifting capacities, CES engineered a patent-pending special front axle system powered by a hydrostatic traction mechanism coupled with mechanical gearboxes.

While the Super Gloria Kalmar DRG1300 has a capacity of 130T, this is limited to a load centre of 1m at low speed. By contrast CES has developed machines that that have higher capacity at longer load centres and at higher drive speeds to offer more flexibility for wind power component logistics.

“We are excited to partner with CES to offer our customers a comprehensive range of heavy-duty material handling solutions. This partnership will enable us to better serve our customers especially in heavy logistics, such as wind energy, heavy bulk handling and heavy container handling industries. We’re excited to be entering this next phase to further support our customers,” said Peter Olsson, Head of Global Sales of Counter Balanced equipment at Kalmar.

“We are confident that our partnership with Kalmar will provide our customers with the best possible solutions for their heavy-duty material handling needs,” said Giovanni Bolcato, CEO of CES. “Kalmar’s global reach and expertise will enable us to reach new customers and markets, and we are excited to work together to drive innovation in the heavy-duty material handling industry.”
