This Kalmar Sisu RTD 1523 is a reach container handler — a type of heavy lifting machine, also known as a reach stacker, designed to lift, move, and stack intermodal shipping containers in ports, rail terminals, intermodal yards, and logistics depots. Kalmar is a well-established Finnish manufacturer with a long-standing focus on container handling and port equipment, serving the global shipping, logistics, and terminal industries.
This 2004 machine is offered in used condition from Lithuania, priced at $52,500.
The unit is equipped with an electromagnetic grapple for containers, a distinctive attachment that uses magnetic force rather than mechanical spreader arms to secure and handle containers. The electromagnet fitted is a "Gauss" electro-magnetic beam of the TTM type with a 500 mm specification, indicating the width of the magnetic contact beam used to interface with container surfaces. A rotor is included, allowing the grapple to rotate for precise container positioning and alignment during stacking or loading operations.
Control of the electromagnetic grapple system is handled via a Hetronic remote control unit, a recognised brand of industrial wireless radio remote controls widely used in heavy-duty crane and lifting applications. This allows the operator to manage the grapple attachment safely from a distance. The machine is also fitted with an engine heater rated at 220 V, a practical feature for reliable cold-weather starting in the Baltic climate where the unit is currently located.
