Kalmar Secures First Order for Electric Reachstackers from Port of Helsingborg

Kalmar, a global leader in sustainable material handling equipment and services, has secured its first order from the Port of Helsingborg, Sweden, for two electric reachstackers. This order, booked in Kalmar's Q3 2026 order intake, is part of a six-year frame agreement signed in Q2 2026, which covers the potential procurement of up to nine zero-emission machines.

The Port of Helsingborg, located on Sweden’s Øresund coast, is the country’s second-largest container port and a key hub for sea, road, and rail transport. In 2024, the port took a significant step towards reducing its carbon footprint by becoming the first in Sweden to order an electric reachstacker from Kalmar. Currently, the port operates three eco-friendly reachstackers.

Christina Argelius, Chief Technical Officer of the Port of Helsingborg, expressed the importance of this order.

Eric Wass, Sales Representative for Kalmar Sweden, echoed the sentiment.

Kalmar, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, operates in over 120 countries and employs approximately 5,300 people. In 2025, the company's sales totalled approximately EUR 1.7 billion. Kalmar's commitment to sustainable solutions is reflected in its vision to be the forerunner in sustainable material handling equipment and services.

The order from the Port of Helsingborg marks a significant milestone in Kalmar's efforts to support ports and terminals in their transition to zero-emission operations. With the delivery scheduled for the end of Q2, 2027, the two electric reachstackers will contribute to the port's ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental impact and enhancing operational efficiency.
