Best of both worlds
The Kalmar FastCharge solution consists of electric powered straddle carriers and fast charging stations. You can choose the fully electric FastCharge Straddle Carrier or the new FastCharge Hybrid Straddle Carrier. With the hybrid technology, you can expand the machine’s operating area into locations in the terminal where electrification is not possible or feasible, and move gradually into a fully electric power solution if needed.
The charging station with a pantograph direct current charging system is located flexibly on the working route of the machines in the terminal. The machine has modern Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries which enable fast charging to be used. Charging happens during the idle time in the machine working cycle when it has stopped to wait for the container. Typical charging time in operation is 30 to 180 seconds, and with the maximum charging power of 600 kW, full charge can be achieved in a few minutes.
