Kalmar DCD450-12 features overview

A range of machines for all your applications

The Kalmar DCD 20 – 50 tonne range is the latest generation heavy forklift trucks from Kalmar. It offers you a broad choice of alternatives to really get the right machine for the right type of work. Kalmar 20 – 50 tonne machines are well proven with robust design, specifically made for the most demanding handling. This range is a result of a continuous development in practice, and together with its predecessors, these are the most common machines in the world. Every design detail is thoroughly matched against your and your colleagues’ demands, so when investing in Kalmar, you are investing in optimal productivity and overall economy.


Kalmar 20 – 25 tonne

These models are primarily dedicated to handling of heavy loads like steel, metal, concrete or stone blocks both at industrial sites and in ports and terminals. It is a comprehensive and versatile range including low-built models. Together with its compact and driver-friendly design these machines offer a productive and flexible resource to any industrial environment.


Kalmar 37 – 50 tonne

These models are dedicated for handling general cargos mainly in ports and terminals and for industrial purposes where extra lifting facilities are required.


Lifting equipment

The Kalmar DCD 20 – 50 tonne range offers you a comprehensive range and choice of masts, carriages, forks and attachments. Altogether you can specify your machine exactly according to your needs. The lifting equipment is well proven and continuously improved to match the increasing requirements for fast, accurate and safe handling, whatever the application.


Handling

Masts

All masts are constructed on the free visibility principle and can be supplied with the area controlled free-lift system which, in terms of function, is extraordinarily reliable and secure. The robust mast profiles of high tensile steel are designed for high stresses and long life. The narrow profiles improve the visibility from the operator’s seat by minimising obstruction of the field of vision. The cylinders contribute as well and are positioned in the “dead” angles of the mast. The long-life mast bearings are conical and fitted with high quality roller bearings. The standard lifting equipment for all models is the duplex, clear view mast.


Fork carriages

The fork carriages are in most deliveries supplied with hydraulic side-shift and simultaneous fork positioning to facilitate efficient operations especially in industrial handling. There is a fixed carriage available for models 20 – 30 tonne.


Forks

The forks are a one-piece forged design manufactured from high tensile steel and fitted with four upper rollers and two lower rollers on each fork. This solution provides both accurate and smooth fork movements as well as long service life. To improve handling flexibility and ease of changing between forks and other attachments, a fork shaft system is available. In this case, the forks are mounted on a separate fork holder.


Attachments

For the Kalmar 20 – 50 tonne models, there are a number of attachments available, which considerably extend the traditional fork-lift truck area of operation. Attachments include coil rams for steel and metal applications and different toplifts for container handling.
