Kalmar’s Electric Material Handling Equipment Integrates Charging in Partnership With Kempower and Sinexcel

Kalmar is helping customers simplify the transition to electric operations by offering not only electric material handling equipment but also integrated charging solutions developed in partnership with Kempower and SINEXCEL. Rather than requiring fleet operators to source and integrate charging infrastructure on their own, Kalmar delivers complete systems designed to work seamlessly with its electric equipment from day one.

As ports, terminals, warehouses, and industrial facilities continue to electrify their fleets, reliable charging infrastructure has become just as important as the equipment itself. Kalmar’s partnerships with Kempower and SINEXCEL provide customers with charging options ranging from mobile plug-in units to high-power charging systems tailored for demanding material handling applications, making fleet electrification more efficient and easier to implement.

Kalmar is one of the world’s leading suppliers of material handling equipment and services for ports, terminals, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and heavy industry. Its product portfolio includes electric and diesel-powered forklift trucks, reachstackers, empty container handlers, terminal tractors, shuttle carriers, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The company also offers automation technologies, fleet management software, and digital solutions that help customers improve operational efficiency, safety, and equipment utilization across demanding logistics environments.

Electrification is a major focus of Kalmar’s product strategy. The company continues to expand its range of battery-electric material handling equipment to help customers reduce emissions, lower operating costs, and meet increasingly ambitious sustainability goals. Complementing its equipment portfolio with lifecycle services, maintenance, automation, and integrated charging solutions, Kalmar provides end-to-end support that enables customers to transition to electric operations while maintaining the productivity and reliability required for critical supply chain applications.
