More chargers to get you going

There are three different battery charging options for you to choose from, all compatible with CCS2 charging systems with a maximum inlet of 350 kW.

Charging can be done after a shift with a 90 kW charger and in breaks or between shifts with a heavy duty 350 kW charger. Which one you choose will be dependent on your drive cycles and work rotas.

Even more safety options as standard

At Kalmar, the safety of people working with our machines is always at the top of our minds, which is why meeting global safety standards is important to us. The safety standard EN 1175:2020, which sets the electrical and electronic component standards for industrial trucks, has been updated to improve the safety of these machines while in operation. This update is valid from April 2023.  All Kalmar counter balanced machines, including reachstackers, empty container handlers, top picks and forklifts have been updated to meet this new standard to ensure that working with a Kalmar machine is as safe as it can be at all times.
