Operating 11 Kalmar container handlers

Following a longterm partnership in the field of technical maintenance, DR Depots and Feyter Forklift Services signed an agreement in mid-2020 for the delivery of 10 new Kalmar container handlers: Nine empty container handlers and one reach stacker. With a Kalmar reach stacker already present, DR Depots has 11 Kalmar container handlers in operation nowadays.

Numerous comfort and safety options

The container handlers at DR Depots are equipped with numerous optional functions that increase comfort ánd safety. After all, high productivity is inextricably linked with driver comfort and a safe working environment.

The Kalmar empty container handlers all have a so-called “Hook and Side Clamp Spreader”, with which 2 containers can be picked up at the same time and containers can be stacked up to 8 high. Automatic spreader positioning for 20′, 30′, 40′ foot containers guarantees significant time savings when handling different container sizes during the day.
