Swedish port receives Konecranes reach stacker

The Port of Trelleborg, located in Sweden, has received a Konecranes intermodal reach stacker for trailer and container handling at its intermodal terminal on the southern coast of Sweden. This new lift truck replaces an older unit that has reached the end of its service life.

Across the five Swedish core ports, Trelleborg is second in terms of throughput tonnage. In addition, it’s the largest railway port on the Baltic Sea, and the most sustainable port in the region. Trelleborg uses two intermodal reach stackers to provide fast, reliable and eco-efficient intermodal services between ship and rail.

“Intermodal traffic has been growing strongly in recent years, so it’s important for us to maintain our position as a leading intermodal hub,” said Thomas Ter-Borch, port operations manager, Port of Trelleborg. “We’ve been very satisfied with Konecranes equipment, so we’re confident that our new Konecranes reach stacker will help us to continue to provide our customers with the highest levels of sustainable productivity.”

“The fact that Port of Trelleborg chose a Konecranes reach stacker again highlights the quality of our products and the excellent service and business relationship provided by our long-term local distributor NC Nielsen,” commented Daniel Sjöstrand, sales support manager, lift trucks, Konecranes.

The new reach stacker is a Konecranes SMV 4538 CCX4, a lifting machine that can stack 45 tons in the first row up to four containers high. The truck runs on HVO100 renewable diesel and meets the emission requirements for an EU Stage V engine. TRUCONNECT® Remote Monitoring follows the truck’s performance through usage data stored at the yourKONECRANES.com customer portal.
