Kalmar Reachstackers: elevating material handling efficiency in the United States and beyond

Kalmar has been a pioneering force in reach stacker innovation since the 1980s, when it debuted the world’s first commercial reach stacker. With over three decades of continued advancements, Kalmar has set new benchmarks in material and container handling, delivering high performance, user-friendly operation, low running costs, and exceptional environmental performance. By 2014, Kalmar had delivered over 15,000 reach stackers globally, with more than 10,000 units actively operating in over 160 countries.

Building on this legacy, Kalmar introduced its acclaimed Gloria range of reach stackers to the United States in 2014, following successful launches in Europe and the APAC region. These reach stackers quickly built on their global reputation, offering enhanced productivity and cost-efficient operation, thereby solidifying Kalmar’s status as a leader in material handling solutions.

The Kalmar Super Gloria has earned a stellar reputation as a premier heavy-duty reach stacker, both in North America and globally. Key features of this reach stacker include an advanced operator interface and ergonomically designed cab, which enhance safety, performance, and cost-efficiency. Users in the United States consistently commend its precision engineering and advanced ergonomics, citing remarkable ease of use and operator comfort. This improvement in comfort inherently boosts productivity, making the Gloria range of reach stackers an indispensable asset across various industries.

One notable case of the Super Gloria's impact can be seen with Richardson Stevedoring & Logistics, a company that has served the Port of Houston since 1969. Partnering with Kalmar for over a decade, Richardson Stevedoring sought to increase productivity and ensure safety for their stevedoring, transport, and logistics operations across intercoastal waterways. To meet these needs, Kalmar delivered the Super Gloria reach stacker, custom-built for rigorous tasks such as maneuvering loads up to 88,000 pounds in the third row and 60,000 pounds in the fourth when working with barges. Innovations such as the counterweight design, an up-and-down cab, and a rear detection camera system further elevate operational safety and flexibility. As a result, Richardson Stevedoring has reported significant improvements in handling heavy steel coils and stacking containers efficiently, highlighting the Super Gloria's versatility and highly recommended safety features.
