    Q

    Who is Kalmar?

    With roots in Tampere, Finland; Småland, Sweden; Ottawa, Kansas; and The Netherlands, Kalmar has grown through a complex and eventful evolution to become the company it is today.

    Kalmar’s history can be traced back to the 1940s, when the first straddle carrier for industrial application was built in Härmälä, near Tampere, Finland. After WWII, Valtion Metallitehtaat (State Metal Factories), which had previously focused on manufacturing and maintaining aircraft and locomotives, was renamed Valmet in 1951. As a part of the war reparations paid by Finland to the Soviet Union in the 1950s, Valmet's Härmälä factory received an order for 500 lumber carriers, which was an early precursor of the container straddle carrier that would eventually dominate the global logistics industry.

    Q

    Does Kalmar Offer Electric Options?

    Since introducing the first electric forklift in 1980, Kalmar has been a pioneer in the industry. Kalmar launched its fully electric portfolio in 2021, consisting of a wide range of material handling equipment from electric reachstacker to heavy, medium, and light forklifts, terminal tractors as well as straddle carriers.

    Kalmar electric forklifts enjoy long battery life thanks to their lithium-ion batteries, which can last for as long as 4,000 discharge cycles before needing to be replaced.
