Kalmar to deliver electric reachstacker at the port of Helsingborg

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed a contract to supply the port of Helsingborg in Sweden with a Kalmar Electric Reachstacker plus an option for two additional electric vehicles.

The order was booked in Cargotec’s Q2 2022 order intake and the delivery of the new equipment is expected at the end of the year.

The order includes comprehensive training for maintenance technicians and equipment operators.

The port of Helsingborg is important for Northern Europe, handling around 275,000 TEU by sea and around 25,000 TEU by rail annually.

Trying to cope with the growing demand for both container volumes and logistics services in southern Sweden, the port will build a new container terminal, which is expected to be completed in 2028.

“We will sustainably develop the new container terminal with automation, electrification, and efficient land use. Investing in the electric reachstackers is an important step in our journey,” noted Bart Steijaert, CEO of the Swedish port.

The new Kalmar Electric Reachstacker supplied to the port of Helsingborg will be the first machine of its kind to be delivered to a customer in Sweden. It will have a wheelbase of 6.5 meters, a stacking capacity of up to 5, a maximum lifting capacity of 45 – 32 – 16 in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows respectively and a battery capacity of 587 kWh.

The new machine will join a fleet of equipment that already has three Kalmar Eco Reachstackers.

“With the Kalmar Electric Reachstacker terminal operators no longer need to sacrifice performance and productivity in order to reduce their carbon emissions. We are very proud to deliver Sweden’s first ever 100% electric reachstacker and would like to congratulate the Port of Helsingborg on leading the way for the industry in Sweden,” stated Eric Wass, sales representative, Kalmar Sweden.
