Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has secured an order from Austrian rail logistics service provider, Innofreight Solutions GmbH (Innofreight), for a heavy electric forklift.

According to Kalmar, this heavy electric forklift is the first of its kind to be delivered to a customer anywhere in the world.

The order was booked in Cargotec’s Q4 2022 order intake and the machine is scheduled to be delivered during Q4 2023.

The purchase comes to further Innofreight’s efforts to become carbon neutral by 2040.

Dietmar Kohlhuber, Area Sales Manager, Kalmar Austria, said: “We are very proud to announce the first ever order for our eco-efficient heavy electric forklift, which is the latest addition to the Kalmar Electric Portfolio launched at the end of 2021.”
