Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has introduced a range of new sustainability options for its eco-efficient electric reachstacker at the TOC Europe conference in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The new options will make the Kalmar electric reachstacker the world’s most sustainable reachstacker.
Kalmar customers can now have their electric reachstacker constructed with 47% SSAB Zero™ steel, made from recycled steel and produced using fossil-free electricity and biogas. Kalmar and SSAB announced their partnership to bring SSAB Zero to the cargo and load-handling industry in May 2023.
In addition to SSAB Zero steel, customers can replace standard oil with PANOLIN biodegradable hydraulic oil and extend tire lifetime through eco-driver training and a tire pressure monitoring system. Kalmar is also introducing a new emission-reducing counterweight made from unprocessed naturally heavy material to replace the standard cast-iron counterweight.
Launched in December 2021, the Kalmar electric reachstacker offers lifting capacities of up to 45 tonnes, improving the eco-efficiency of cargo-handling operations while allowing customers to maintain the highest productivity and safety levels. The reachstacker is available with various modular battery options and charging solutions.
Mette Kjems Bærentzen, Head of Sustainability, Kalmar: “In today’s world, businesses need to find ways to reduce their CO2 emissions actively, and going electric is one of the best ways to cut your carbon footprint and prepare for a low-carbon future. We are constantly seeking new ways to improve the sustainability of our cargo-handling solutions, and these new options provide customers with even more ways to address the growing need to cut their carbon footprint with equipment that is not only more sustainable to operate but also constructed sustainably.”
