More efficient.

You can choose which drive line combination is right for you, either a medium or high performance combinations.

The Medium Performance (MP) drive line with 3-speed transmission, offers great handling, excellent driving performance and very good levels of fuel efficiency. While the High Performance (HP) drive line with 4-speed transmission and Lock-Up functionality, offers faster driving and lifting speeds with its more powerful engine.


Efficient-Infographic

You may also choose to benefit from the fastest lifting and lowering speeds in the market for extra quick container handling. Servicing and maintenance is also easier than ever before, with longer servicing intervals and easier access to servicing points.


Everyone of our new empty container handlers also comes with ECO-Drive, which gives you three different power modes to choose from.


Power Mode: for moving quickly round the yard and lifting and lowering at full speed.


Normal Mode: still quick, but a little slower than Power Mode. 5-15% reduction in running costs.


Economy mode: does the job, but at an easier pace. 10-25% reduction in running costs.

More robust.

Every Kalmar Empty Container Handler is designed to last. Built on our proven G-Generation platform for extra toughness. You also get upgraded drive axles with oil-cooled Wet Disc Brakes, a wider rear steer, a wider front axle and when combined with our tilt cylinders and rigid mast you will benefit from greater stability when lifting heavy loads to heights.

More comfort.

Each of our new of our new empty container handlers comes with our ergonomically designed EGO cabin for superior driver comfort and operational ease. You can see more as we have removed the A-pillars and replaced them with slim-line B-pillars so you get a clear view in every direction, even up. Everything is within reach with an electronically adjustable console, tilt steering wheel and adjustable seat.


Our new failsafe pedal system and climate control package make our cabin even more comfortable and a user interface with colour display that makes operating the machine easier than ever before.


Our cabin is easy to access, with non-slip climbing surfaces and sturdy handrails.

More return.

With over 10,000 empty container handlers built over the years and thousands still in operation you can be certain you will not only get a hard working robust machine ready for any challenge, but one that will be less expensive and easier to maintain in the long term. We have extended our servicing intervals and given you easier access to important servicing points.
In fact, our machines will give you more uptime than any other and the lowest running costs per hour available in the market. Our machines also hold their value better than any other and achieve the highest re-sale values, so your total cost of ownership will be a lot less than you expect. In fact, 90% of our customers say they would only buy another Kalmar Empty Container Handler in preference to any other brand.
