How have we improved the availability of the Gloria range of reach stackers?

With our latest generation of reach stackers, we’ve managed to boost performance once again with newly designed integrated components and improved operator interfaces. Each model in the Gloria range also features advanced components and a proactive monitoring system, delivering remarkable benefits to our operators worldwide. Kalmar reach stacker users in the United States have also experienced enhanced reliability and minimized downtime that our equipment brings to their material handling and logistics processes.

• Advanced Components: For example, our new segmented wiring makes maintenance and replacement simpler and quicker. With fewer exposed components, there is less wear and tear on wiring, hydraulics, and other connectors, enhancing the reliability and availability of your Kalmar Reachstacker.

This technology automatically detects failures, compensating with backup bus wires and connectors before any fault can affect your reach stacker. The result is less downtime when handling materials or moving containers.
• Easier Maintenance: All major service points are accessible from the ground, and the engine bay has removable top covers, making routine checks and maintenance tasks quicker and safer.
