Kalmar has provided four electric reachstackers to Westport AS, a Norwegian port operator, as part of their partnership to improve sustainable port operations.

The repeat order was scheduled for Kalmar’s Q2 2024 order intake, with delivery taking place in Q4 2024 at Westport’s new terminal in the Port of Moss, Norway.

The transaction includes a seven-year Kalmar Complete Care service agreement, which ensures personalised maintenance and optimal operational efficiency. Kalmar delivered an electric reachstacker to Westport in 2022.
