Kalmar to supply its first customised electric reachstacker with side-tilt spreader and hydraulic slab gripper to POK Zachód in Poland
Kalmar has secured an order to supply a customised Kalmar electric reachstacker to POK Zachód sp. z o.o. in Wojkowice, Poland for its steel and container handling logistics. The order was booked in Kalmar’s Q3 2026 order intake, with delivery scheduled for Q2 2027.
The new Kalmar electric reachstacker with lifting capacities of up to 45 tonnes and a 533 kWh nominal capacity battery pack will be used for demanding container and steel handling operations at the customer’s POK Zachód terminal. To address its specific material handling requirements, the machine will be tailored with a special 55-degree side tilt spreader designed to empty bulk-loaded containers, alongside a hydraulic operated steel slabs gripper capable of handling loads up to 33 tonnes. This marks the first-ever Kalmar electric reachstacker built with both a side-tilting spreader and a hydraulic slab gripper.
The project is co-financed by the European Union under the Just Transition Fund (FST).
Marcin Woźniak, President of the Management Board, POK Zachód: "We are proud to take this important step in transitioning our operations toward zero emissions.
