Build a clear roadmap for electric straddle carrier operations

Download Kalmar’s white paper to discover the business case for electric straddle carriers and learn how to plan a lower-risk transition to cleaner, smarter and more efficient operations.

Electric straddle carriers are moving beyond pilot projects to commercially credible full-scale deployments. Advances in battery and charging technology are reducing technical and business risks, while the total cost of ownership is becoming increasingly attractive compared with hybrid and diesel-electric alternatives. However, electrification also introduces a new operating profile: charging must be integrated into daily operations, and the right strategy will depend on each terminal’s infrastructure, workflows and performance requirements.

Inside the white paper, you’ll find:

The business case for electric straddle carriers, including the key benefits and total cost of ownership considerations.
An overview of depot, rotation and opportunity charging, mixed strategies and the role of megawatt charging.
A structured, four-stage electrification journey for investigating options, building the business case, validating scenarios and refining the roadmap.

Key takeaways:

Why a combination of depot and opportunity charging can offer a flexible solution for many terminal operations.
How simulation, emulation and piloting can reduce risk, optimise investment decisions and validate operational performance before wider deployment.
Why terminals can start small with electric straddle carrier pilots while developing a long-term electrification roadmap.
