KCL Success Story: Empowering the China-Uzbekistan Container Railway Line with Konecranes Reach Stackers
At KCL, we are proud to support the recent launch of a major container railway line connecting China and Uzbekistan, which has marked a new chapter in trade efficiency and economic collaboration between the two nations. Announced by the Vice Chairman of Uzbekistan's National Railway Company on national television, this line is set to dramatically enhance trade flow. We are thrilled that our Konecranes state-of-the-art reach stackers were highlighted in the broadcast for their crucial role in this development, praised for their superior handling capabilities, smart design, and eco-friendly performance.
The rapid growth of rail freight, especially through initiatives such as the China-Europe Railway Express, has been a key area where KCL Group has made significant contributions. Since 2018, we have delivered dozens of reach stackers to major stations and border crossings, supporting the expansion of efficient, sustainable rail operations. Our customers recognise the high quality of our equipment and value the peace of mind our dedicated after-sales service provides.
For multimodal terminal operators, success depends on improving rail capacity and port throughput. Beyond effective logistics scheduling, seamless transshipment and connectivity are essential for optimising efficiency. That’s where KCL comes in.
Our powerful range of Konecranes reach stackers, designed for multimodal handling, features high lifting capacities, extended wheelbases, and the ability to operate across multiple rail tracks with ease. Konecranes machines come with a rich set of standard features, alongside various customisable options, enabling customers to tailor their equipment to suit specific operational needs. This flexibility is why Konecranes reach stackers continue to stand out in a highly competitive market.
