Six Kalmar E-One2 RTGs to Namport in Namibia

The RTGs will be delivered during the second half of 2010.

The 7+1 wide and 1-over-5 high RTGs will be equipped with an autosteering and container verification system, Kalmar Smartrail® and remote diagnostics. Kalmar E-One² is the newest RTG model and meets the latest safety and environmental demands whilst remaining productive and cost-effective. With a Variable Speed Generator (VSG) the engine runs at a lower RPM level when idling. Furthermore, the system automatically optimises engine speed according to the power required, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

Smartrail® steers the RTG along virtual tracks, relieving the driver of the need to steer and allowing him to travel at maximum speed between lifts and to concentrate fully on picking up and setting down containers.

Cargotec stated that Namport is also provided with  on-site service support personnel to ensure that the terminal benefits from the highest machine availability. On-site service is backed by the global network of maintenance technicians.
