The eco-efficient Kalmar FastCharge Straddle Carrier produces zero emissions at source as it uses  battery power units with the latest battery technology, which can be opportunity charged during operation in your yard using Kalmar FastCharge.

Charging your straddle carrier at strategically located charging stations is fully automated and typically takes 30-180 seconds, allowing charging stops to become part of your normal work cycle.

Cut your costs and emissions.

Electrically powered straddle carriers are quicker and easier to maintain as they have less moving parts and can cut your fuel bills as electrically powered solutions are normally more cost-effective than traditionally powered straddle carriers.
