Maintenance of Straddle Carriers

Expertise you can trust

We built the first straddle carrier for industrial use in the 1940s, and we haven't stopped innovating since. Maintaining these highly specialised machines requires extensive experience, advanced technical knowledge, and a deep understanding of terminal operations.

From routine straddle carrier maintenance and preventive maintenance to complex straddle carrier repair services, we partner with you to keep your fleet operating safely, efficiently, and reliably. Whether you operate manual, hybrid, electric, or automated equipment, our expert teams provide the straddle carrier service, diagnostics, and support needed to help maximise uptime when every second counts.

Leading the way in eco-efficiency

As ports and terminals move towards a lower-carbon future, maintaining the performance and efficiency of equipment becomes increasingly important.

Our teams specialise in container handling equipment maintenance for hybrid and electric straddle carriers, helping improve energy efficiency, reduce consumption, and support long-term sustainability goals. Through proactive port equipment maintenance, regular inspections, and lifecycle planning, we help ensure your equipment delivers maximum productivity with minimal environmental impact.

Optimised by data

With MyKalmar INSIGHT, operational data becomes actionable intelligence. Using advanced straddle carrier diagnostics, condition monitoring, and performance analytics, we help optimise maintenance schedules, improve fleet availability, and reduce unexpected downtime.
