Drive
The Base for High Performance
We have equipped the Kalmar 20 – 30 tonne range with excellent drive trains. Engine, gearbox, drive shaft and wet disc brakes – everything has been built and combined into a unit with the highest performance and durability possible. The new drive trains provide a driving experience and level of control throughout the work cycle that has to be experienced to be believed.
Powerful Low Emission Engines
We can offer two different power trains. The engines provide high torque even at low revolutions. The engines fall well within the latest emission requirements and they also conform to the new noise power standards. Stage 3 engines require more powerful cooling than before and the trucks come fitted with an efficient and easy-to-service split cooling system – for air and fuel and coolant to the engine and gearbox. The air filter is a two-stage Donaldson with a pre-cleaner in stage one and a finer cellulose filter for the smallest particles in stage two. This can also be replaced by a metallic or dust particle filter as an option. The filter has a high cleaning capacity and is easy to replace.
Electronic Controlled Transmission
We are using the Dana TE17000 series transmission. The gearbox has integrated electronic control, monitoring and intelligence. The gearbox has built-in reversing lock and modulation, providing safe and smooth gear changing. In addition, we also calibrate slipping before delivery to provide the best gear-changing characteristics depending on power train, wheel dimension and drive shaft. There are two optional grades of "intelligence" to choose: automatic gear-changing and electronic inching with controlled slipping.
Reducing Operating Costs
The Kalmar 20 – 25 range consists of a series of models that have been designed in every aspect to provide long life with minimum downtime. This has been achieved by using technical solutions and components, and by not subjecting the truck to built-in stresses that result in unnecessary wear and higher costs. In addition, we utilise optimised chassis modules, frames, electronically controlled power trains, wet disc brakes, more reliable and more efficient hydraulic systems.
Fast Service and Maintenance
The Kalmar 20 – 25 tonne range has been designed to provide the best possible access for maintenance. Tilting the cabin (LB version) and opening the engine cover exposes the entire power train with easy accessibility to all vital components and service points.
