Kalmar Introduces Next-Generation Lithium-Ion Battery Technology for Its Electric Straddle Carrier
Kalmar recently introduced a next-generation lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery solution for the Kalmar electric straddle carrier. The new Gen 2 battery delivers enhanced energy capacity, improved thermal stability and extended operating times. The solution is now available globally. The Gen 2 battery solution has been developed to meet the growing demands of customers seeking safer, more efficient and more sustainable cargo-handling solutions. The battery’s advanced cell chemistry extends its lifespan, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership for customers due to reduced battery replacement costs, and brings improvements in terms of lifecycle sustainability.
With a nominal capacity of 533 kWh – an increase of 25% over the previous-generation battery technology – and a usable capacity of 453 kWh, the Gen 2 battery solution extends equipment operating times. The extended battery autonomy provides greater flexibility in terms of charging strategies, with the potential to combine depot charging during meal breaks and hands-free opportunity charging during shifts, enabling hot-seat operation. Kalmar electric straddle carriers fitted with the Gen 2 battery will be able to achieve a net operating time of up to 10 h depending on energy consumption levels. In connection with the launch of the Gen 2 battery solution, Kalmar has deployed the megawatt charging system (MCS) at its test facility in Tampere, Finland.
