Kalmar

ASC System.
Your foundation for
the future, today.
Ready to run,
ready for
the future.
The Kalmar ASC System delivers
significant benefits for your business
today, and will also help you prepare
a complete end-to-end automation
solution for the future.
Increase your volume, save on space.
The Kalmar ASC System is ideal for high-density
sites, typically those above 1,000 TEU/ha. With
Kalmar’s unique pre-integration capabilities, you will
be able to optimise both your space utilisation and
container capacity from day one of operations at a
greenfield site. It can also be introduced to existing
terminals one stack at a time, so your day-to-day
operations are not disrupted.

Kalmar cranes are built on the experience and

knowledge we have acquired since launching
the first ASC in 1990, for ECT Delta Terminal in
Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

“It is of utmost importance for

us to have equipment and a
terminal operating system that
are fully integrated and make
our operations as efficient
as possible.”

fewer electrical components and cabling.
Our ASCs are also fitted with state of the art
inverters which are highly responsive and

efficiency of the crane, kinetic energy is fed
back into the grid during deceleration and
each crane is fitted with hibernation modes,
minimising energy consumption during idle
times between jobs.
