Reach Stackers

12 SEPTEMBER 2014

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has received an order from Egon Evertz KG for Super Gloria, the world's biggest reachstacker. The machine will be operated at Salzgitter Flachstahl for handling hot and cold steel slabs. The design and build project was completed by Kalmar in 12 months.

The Kalmar DRG650-92A5XS reachstacker is called 'Super Gloria' because it is now the largest reachstacker in Kalmar's hugely successful Gloria range. The completely new design resulted in an impressive lift capacity of 65 tonnes at 4.0m load centre in dynamic mode (drive) or 65 tonnes at 5.0m load centre in static mode (non driving).

Super Gloria will be handling new 50-tonne mega steel slabs, measuring 2.7m wide, 12m long and 350mm thick. The machine is equipped with both an electric lift magnet for handling slabs in cold conditions and a hydraulic slab grab for hot conditions (up to 800 degrees Celsius).

The high lifting capacity has been augmented with a specially raised cab to enhance visibility and a wheel distance of 9.25m to provide maximum stability. An onboard generator providing emergency power for the magnet, AdBlue fuel efficient technology and a fire extinguishing system are also featured in the specification.
