Kalmar

Products: tugger, forklift. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 15.4/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 99th percentile of 99 amr mobile robot companies.

Analyst brief

The record contains two recall entries, both severity 3: a 2023 Ottawa T2 terminal tractor recall for cab tilt cylinder failure risk, and a 2017 terminal tractor recall for electrical fire risk from ground cable and PDC wiring defects. Both entries are regulator-driven recalls rather than press-reported incidents, and both concern the same terminal tractor product line across a six-year span. The two-event, same-severity pattern produces an index of 15.3, placing Kalmar at the 99th percentile of the amr-mobile-robot category in the elevated band. The record shows a recurring recall pattern on one product family rather than a single isolated action.
