Kalmar Reachstackers Support SSAB’s Green Steel Production at Oxelösund, Sweden

 


Kalmar has concluded an agreement with steelmaker SSAB to supply 5 Kalmar Super Gloria reachstackers for its Oxelösund mill in Sweden. The machines are scheduled for delivery during Q2 2026.

SSAB is a leading global steel company with employees in over 50 countries. Its production plants in Sweden, Finland and the U.S. have an annual capacity of approximately 8.8 million t. The company has introduced 2 unique decarbonized steels and aims to largely eliminate CO2 emissions from its operations. 

The Oxelösund mill is an important site with regard to the green transition of SSAB’s entire Nordic production system, replacing the blast furnaces with an electric arc furnace, among other things. Kalmar already has a strong local presence on the site, with a dedicated team of service technicians delivering expert support including preventive and corrective maintenance as well as other services.

The reachstackers supplied to SSAB will be partially manufactured using SSAB Zero, a fossil carbon emission-free recycled steel. They will be used to transport scrap steel to feed the electric arc furnace at the mill, using a specialised rotator to enable them to rotate containers full of scrap steel at a load centre of 5300 mm.

To ensure maximum operational efficiency, the reachstackers will be backed by Kalmar’s on-site workshop, which will provide expert support, preventive maintenance, and rapid response to any service needs. This ensures uninterrupted operations and enhances equipment longevity, supporting SSAB’s sustainable steel production.
