The order was booked in Kalmar's Q1 2026 order intake, with delivery scheduled for Q4 2026.OCHA's straddle carrier programme comprises one week on simulators followed by two weeks on real machines, after which drivers are ready to commence real port operations. The fleet at OCHA already includes five Kalmar straddle carriers. OCHA has been training straddle carrier drivers using Kalmar equipment since 2003, and the new machines will help the organisation further strengthen its training capacity.
