DCE 180-6 Kalmar diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2005 - 2018)

Spirit Delta

Spirit Delta is one of the best designed driving environments available in the industry. Priority has been given to ergonomics for the driver. After a demanding shift in a Spirit Delta, the driver should be alert and attentive, resulting in improved working safety. The overall design and all the adjustment options mean that the Spirit Delta will benefit every driver. Instruments and control layout allow the driver to see at a glance and have control over all the machine’s various functions, while at the same time allowing the driver to work in an efficient and relaxed way. Visibility has been optimized by the truck’s soft design lines. Comfort with regard to noise level, climate, lighting and accessibility is at the highest level possible. The operator of the Spirit Delta can have access to Kalmar’s range of intelligent efficiency and safety options in one place.

Flexcab and Flexguard

FlexCab is a robust alternative to the Spirit Delta. FlexCab provides good ergonomics, good visibility and also practical flexibility. FlexCab can be quickly and simply converted from a complete cabin to an open safety cage with or without windows, side panels and heating system, depending on climate. FlexGuard is the opposite, an open safety cage that can be fitted with windows and doors even after delivery. The robust body has been designed to provide optimal visibility. This is especially noticeable at the corner posts and roof rails, which have the smallest cross section possible for the benefit of the driver. The visibility is substantial and the distance between the driver seat and the roof has generous space. Efficient operation is ensured by control and instrument layout and the degree of comfort of the driver seat.

Low emission engines

We can offer a number of different power trains. All 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 (previously noise pressure). Tier 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, 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.

A complete program of lifting equipment

Choosing lifting equipment always involves a combination of different requirements – lift height, clearance, free lift, vehicle flexibility, as well as built in functions in the vehicle. Whatever the requirements, Kalmar has the combination that allows efficient operation and optimum visibility conditions. The mast frame on the Kalmar 90 – 180 series has excellent visibility. Optimized frame and cross bars have been combined with well-placed hoses and hoist chains that are “invisible” during normal operation. Kalmar can also offer numerous options to improve efficiency and safety, optimum speed (increased lifting speed), lift height pre-set (going directly to the right height), vertical hold (always vertical) and chain-slack elimination.

Kalmar's Electronic System Gives the Truck Intelligence

Kalmar's electronic system is a fast, intelligent and stable auxiliary electronic system that makes the truck user-friendly, effective, safe and economical. Kalmar's electrical system has been thoroughly upgraded through development. The installation is more standardized and simplified using CAN-bus technology. Furthermore, updated software and electrical components were implemented to deliver a high level of flexibility, ease of maintenance and durability.

Optimum lift – lower noise level, reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions

The system, which is patented, reduces noise and keeps fuel consumption to a minimum during lifting sequences in the operating cycle by optimizing the engine revolutions compared to the weight of the load, deflection of the mast and the machine speed at the time. The intelligent and microprocessor-controlled optimum lift system is variable and installed in parallel with the standard hydraulic system.

Kalmar dce at work

The Kalmar DCE90-180 range is versatile and is proven to be effective for an array of applications around the world. A few examples of these many uses include:Wood, Pulp & PaperPorts & StevedoringConcrete, Brick & StoneSteel, Metal and EngineeringAutomotiveMiningEtc.

A Truck Offering Many Possibilities

The Kalmar 20,000 – 40,000 lb range has a unique driving experience, visibility and handling which, together with high quality, long life and ease of service, provide the conditions for efficient working and excellent overall economy. Powerful and durable drivetrains with electronically controlled gear units are perfectly matched with environmentally friendly engines. These machines have well-balanced bodies for optimum dynamic stability and visibility. The number of options provide an unbelievable driving experience, safety and efficiency. Design and technical solutions result in increased lifetime and longer service intervals; simplified service and daily inspection, and in addition to all this, a wide selection of high-quality driving environments. Welcome to the Kalmar 20,000 – 40,000 lb range.

The most interesting power trains on the market

We have equipped the Kalmar 20,000 – 40,000 lb range with excellent drivetrains. Engine, gearbox, drive shaft and wet disc brakes – everything has been built and combined into a unit with the highest performance and durability possible. Together with the excellent dynamic stability of the 90 – 180 series, this provides a driving experience and level of control throughout the work cycle that has to be experienced to be believed.

Reducing operating costs

The Kalmar 90 – 180 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, but not subjecting the truck to built in stresses that result in unnecessary wear and higher costs. Optimized chassis modules, frames, dynamic stability, electronically controlled power trains, wet disc brakes, more reliable and more efficient hydraulic systems, smart options such as variable piston pumps or optimum lift, and last but not least, an unbelievable driving experience. It is the entire package that determines the quality.

Greater service intervals

Service intervals for the Kalmar 20,000 – 40,000 lb range are only after 500 hours of driving. The longer service interval will reduce the operating cost of the machine – and decrease the service downtime.

Fast service and maintenance

The Kalmar 20,000 – 40,000 lb range has been designed to provide the best possible accessibility. Tilting the cabin and opening the engine cover exposes the entire power train with easy accessibility to all vital components and service points.

Daily inspection

Daily inspections must be simple and easy to carry out. All check points for daily inspection are directly accessible at ground level under the engine cover on the side of the truck. It can all be done in just a few minutes.
