Modern lifting fleet
Operated by Malcolm Rail, as one of the UK’s busiest intermodal freight terminals, DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) handles trains for major freight operating companies and requires a modern lifting fleet, which has been supplied by Kalmar.
David Turner, director of rail, said: “We chose Kalmar as we knew they were very easy to deal with, and the quality and capability of their equipment is second-to-none. The strength of their maintenance support was another reason that we knew they should be selected for this high profile operation.”
Other benefits that attracted Malcolm Rail to Kalmar included the UK coverage offered alongside competitive price of the reach stackers, which have helped to increase uptime of the equipment and lifting equipment handling efficiency at DIRFT.
