Kalmar presents new electric forklift truck
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, presents the first lithium-ion powered electric forklift truck in the medium lift segment. The new forklift truck is the latest step in the company's drive to offer an electric version of every product in its portfolio by 2021.
According to the company, the truck is the first in the medium lift segment to be powered by lithium-ion batteries. Stefan Hultqvist, Vice President Forklifts, Kalmar: "We are pleased to announce another industry first as we continue to work to provide our customers with innovative, new, eco-efficient, reliable and easy-to-maintain machines that help them achieve their business goals. The demand for electric forklifts is constantly increasing and now we can offer our customers even more comfort and environmental friendliness in the medium load range."
The lithium-ion batteries can be charged quickly and are therefore ideal for multi-shift operation. They are fully charged after two hours. Since charging is emission-free, the charging stations can be strategically placed to maximize equipment utilization and uptime even in the most demanding operating environments.
