The Kalmar electric empty container handler is available in a single-stacker configuration in 9 T and 10 T capacities and lifting heights from 5 to 8 high.
The double-stacker configuration is available in 10 T and 11 T capacities, with stacking heights from 5+1 to 8+1 high.
All models are compatible with a wide range of charger types and include the EGO cabin for maximum operator comfort.
Kalmar offers three different battery sizes – 163, 293 and 391 kWh – to meet different load and operating-time requirements.
“The electric empty container handler is the newest member of our already extensive electrically powered portfolio,” says Peter Olsson, Kalmar’s head of global sales, counter balanced.
“It has been developed in close cooperation with our vast customer base, many of whom are choosing electrification as their preferred route to decarbonisation and lower operational costs.”
