Kalmar has secured an order from POK Zachód for a customised electric reachstacker at its logistics terminal in Wojkowice, Poland. The equipment will support container and steel handling operations.
The order was recorded in the third quarter of 2026, with delivery scheduled for the second quarter of 2027. The project is also receiving European Union funding through the Just Transition Fund.
The new electric reachstacker will have a maximum lifting capacity of 45 tonnes and a battery pack with a nominal capacity of 533 kWh. Kalmar will equip the machine with specialised attachments to meet the terminal’s operational requirements.
These include a side-tilting spreader that can tilt containers by 55 degrees to discharge bulk cargo. In addition, the reachstacker will feature a hydraulic gripper capable of lifting steel slabs weighing up to 33 tonnes.
According to Kalmar, this will be its first electric reachstacker equipped with both a side-tilting spreader and a hydraulic slab gripper.
Electric equipment supports logistics operations
The new machine will allow POK Zachód to handle different cargo types using a single electric vehicle. Its customised configuration is designed for operations involving both containers and heavy steel products.
The investment also forms part of POK Zachód’s efforts to move towards lower-emission cargo-handling equipment.
“We are proud to take this important step in transitioning our operations toward zero emissions. Kalmar proved to be the ideal partner due to its strong brand recognition in the market, impressive customer references, and ability to customise an advanced electric reachstacker specifically to meet our needs,” said Marcin Woźniak, President of the Management Board, POK Zachód.
The agreement marks a new customer relationship for Kalmar in Poland. It also demonstrates the company’s approach to adapting electric cargo-handling equipment for specialised industrial logistics applications.
The order value was not disclosed.
