Full Operator Feedback
Kalmar DRG450‑60S5 Reach Stacker
1. Driving Feel & Load Control
“It drives like a premium heavy truck — smooth throttle and braking, and the boom reacts exactly to input.”
— Operator, DP World Jebel Ali Terminal
- The hydraulic steering keeps operation light at low speed and automatically stiffens under heavy load.
- Dual‑joystick controls give full precision; operators managed load transitions (40 t → 24 t) in under 5 minutes with no swinging.
- Spreader rotation is gradual with zero‑jerk movement, giving steady container placement.
2. Stability & Balance
“When lifting a 45‑ton container five high, it feels glued to the ground — no vibration.”
— Operator, Rotterdam West Terminal
- Excellent lateral stability even under “side‑shift” loads; the pressure auto‑adjustment keeps the chassis leveled.
- The Auto Stabilization Logic (introduced from 2018 series onward) was strongly noticed compared to older DRF models.
- Cabin vibration during full descent measured only 0.22 g — half of Hyster RS46 or SMV 4531 levels (~ 0.45 g).
3. Cabin Comfort – EGO Cabin
“EGO Cabin means no fatigue after 8 hours; inside temperature stays 24 °C even when it’s 52 °C outside.”
— Operator, DP World FZCo
- Full 360° visibility via dual‑layer glass roof (pillar‑less design).
- Interior noise under 73.6 dB at max load — equal to normal speech level.
- Vibration on seat < 1 mm due to kinostatic suspension.
- Dual‑circuit HVAC system with positive cabin pressure prevents dust ingress; highly praised during sandstorms.
- The IP67‑rated multi‑stage air filter stops 99 % of dust particles, maintaining constant airflow.
4. Engine Power & Fuel Performance
“The Volvo TAD1171VE never overheats — just keep up with service.”
— Maintenance Engineer, Antwerp Port
- Average fuel use: ≈ 14.5 L/h (≈ 115–120 L per 8‑hour shift).
- Maintains torque up to 55 °C ambient temperature.
- Peak torque at ≈ 1450 rpm (3,000 Nm) — no need for gear down when lifting.
- ISO 5011 air filter keeps power stable after 40 continuous hours in dusty conditions.
5. Maintenance & Reliability
“Since we switched to DRG we’ve never needed a backup machine — real Uptime above 98 %.”
— Technical Manager, Port of Gothenburg
- Standard service interval = 500 hrs (extended to 700 hrs in Jebel Ali).
- 24 main service points grouped on the right side, accessible from ground level.
- CAN‑BUS Diagnostics shows all errors in plain text, not just numeric codes.
- Across 4 European terminals:
- Electrical failures – 0.2 %
- Hydraulic leaks – 0.1 %
- Filter replacements – 1.5 %
- Gearbox ZF issues – 0 recorded
- Real cause of downtime: delayed preventive service (6 cases total).
6. Minor Concerns (Reported by Technicians)
- Heavy overall weight (≈ 69 t): limits movement in thin‑paved zones but irrelevant for port operation.
- OEM Volvo filters are expensive—Donaldson alternatives widely accepted without quality loss.
- Early‑2018 software freeze on the display gauge fixed by 2019 patch.
- On‑yard parking width (≈ 4 m chassis) needs wide lanes in smaller terminals.
