Wedoany.com Report-Dec.10, Kalmar has introduced a new range of DC charging solutions, developed through partnerships with Kempower and SINEXCEL. The initiative expands the company's established portfolio of electric material handling equipment, providing customers with integrated charging options for seamless operations.

The collaboration enables Kalmar to offer advanced chargers designed for full compatibility with its electric machines. The lineup includes movable chargers, fixed integrated stations, and distributed charging systems suitable for various fleet sizes. A megawatt charging system will be deployed at DP World London Gateway to support a fleet of Kalmar electric straddle carriers scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2026.

Kalmar works closely with customers to create customized charging packages that match specific operational requirements. Solutions range from compact, flexible units for smaller fleets to scalable distributed systems for large-scale applications. The full range is available worldwide.

Rony Thomas, Head of Product Management at Kalmar, said: "We are delighted to announce this partnership with two of the world's leading charger suppliers. By combining the new charger offering with our deep knowledge of our customers' operations, we will be able to offer a comprehensive package of fully tailored electric material handling solutions – including machines, chargers and services – with the lowest possible total cost of ownership."

Jussi Vanhanen, Chief Markets Officer at Kempower, said: "Kempower is proud to partner with Kalmar. Together, we are accelerating the transition towards more sustainable logistics by integrating our DC charging technology with Kalmar's electric machine portfolio. We see the electrification of logistics and supply chains accelerating fast around the world, and Kempower is more than ready to support leading players like Kalmar in this development. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting global climate goals and creating a cleaner future for supply chains."

Ron Zhong, Sales Director of Global OEMs at SINEXCEL, said: "We are excited to join forces with Kalmar and Kempower in this groundbreaking effort to electrify the logistics sector in the Nordics, Europe, and beyond. Our advanced DC charging solutions, ranging from 30 kilowatts (kW) to 1280kW, will play a key role in facilitating Kalmar's transition to fully electric machinery. This partnership is not just about technology – it's about building a more sustainable future for global supply chains. Together, we are making a significant impact on the industry and creating a cleaner, more efficient world."

The partnerships combine Kempower's and SINEXCEL's expertise in high-performance DC charging with Kalmar's understanding of terminal and logistics operations. The resulting solutions aim to simplify the shift to electric equipment while optimizing efficiency and reducing long-term operating costs.

Last week, Kalmar signed a new 10-year strategic supply agreement with Patrick Terminals, further demonstrating its commitment to supporting customers in the transition to sustainable port and terminal operations. The expanded charging portfolio positions Kalmar as a comprehensive provider of electrified material handling systems, helping operators worldwide achieve reliable, environmentally friendly performance across their fleets.
