Kalmar secured an order of electric empty container handlers from Lechman Terminais<\/p>\n
Kalmar has secured an order from long-term customer Lechman Terminais in Brazil for six Kalmar electric empty container handlers. The order was booked in Kalmar\u2019s Q2 2026 order intake with delivery scheduled for Q1 of 2027.<\/p>\n
The new electric empty container handlers will operate in a container depot in the town of Guaruj\u00e1, located in the hinterland of the Port of Santos. The equipment is capable of stacking containers seven-high, and features the highest capacity of 400 kWh batteries, ensuring operational continuity beyond a full work shift. Various safety components, such as reverse warning system, safety cameras and fire suppression system as well as high-performance and ergonomically designed EGO Cabin ensure more comfort and safe operations.<\/p>\n
All equipment includes the MyKalmar INSIGHT performance management tool with the Inspector module, a digital application that streamlines routine inspections of material-handling equipment and allows inspection data to be stored centrally for analysis and reporting purposes.<\/p>\n
Altamir Lecham, President and Director of Lechman Terminais: \u201cHaving Kalmar as our partner provides us with great peace of mind, as their machines are of exceptional quality, ensuring we can operate efficiently and safely. Additionally, we are taking a significant step toward reducing our CO2 emissions, which is important for us and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marcelo Macedo Goncalves, Vice President of Kalmar Latin America: \u201cThis order marks an important milestone for us as it is the first order of new-generation electric empty container handlers to Latin America. We are proud to continue our partnership with Lechman, and we remain firmly committed to providing the professional after-sales support and training necessary to ensure Lechman succeeds in its electrification journey. With the cost of diesel rising exponentially, and pressure to increase efficiency and reduce emissions, electrification offers a reliable path to continuous operation, mitigating risks posed by current global volatility.\u201d<\/p>\n
