Kalmar Delivers Custom Electric Reachstacker to POK Zachód

Kalmar, a global leader in intelligent and sustainable heavy material handling solutions, has secured a significant order to supply a customised electric reachstacker to POK Zachód, a steel and container handling logistics company based in Wojkowice, Poland. The order, booked in Kalmar’s third quarter of 2026, marks a milestone in the company’s commitment to zero-emission operations.

The new Kalmar electric reachstacker, scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2027, is designed to handle demanding container and steel handling operations at POK Zachód’s terminal. With a lifting capacity of up to 45 tonnes and a 533 kWh nominal capacity battery pack, the machine is tailored to meet the specific needs of the customer. To address POK Zachód’s unique requirements, the reachstacker features a special 55-degree side tilt spreader, which is designed to empty bulk-loaded containers, and a hydraulic operated steel slabs gripper capable of handling loads up to 33 tonnes. This marks the first-ever Kalmar electric reachstacker built with both a side-tilting spreader and a hydraulic slab gripper.

POK Zachód’s transition towards zero emissions is a significant step in the company’s operations.

Kalmar, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, operates globally in over 120 countries and employs approximately 5,300 people. In 2025, the company’s sales totalled approximately EUR 1.7 billion. The Just Transition Fund, co-financing the project, underscores the commitment to sustainable practices and the transition to renewable energy solutions in the logistics sector.

The delivery of this customised electric reachstacker is a testament to Kalmar’s expertise in providing tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of its customers. As POK Zachód transitions to a zero-emission future, the new equipment will play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the company’s operations.
