DCE 70-32 E3 Kalmar diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2012 - 2018)

Engine

All empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines equipped with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the special working conditions of empty container handling, with high power and torque levels at low engine speed. The engines have low exhaust emission levels and low fuel consumption. Low noise and vibration levels also characterize all engine alternatives.

Steering System

The steering system is completely hydraulic. The steering axle is a robust construction with double-acting cylinder. The pendulum suspension of the axle, over powerful spherical rubber bushings, has a long operative life span and is totally maintenance free. The minimal number of parts ensures operational reliability, a minimum of service points and easy maintenance. The steering geometry allows a tight turning circle.

Service Brake System

All empty container handlers are equipped with Wet Disc Brakes with oil cooled discs that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub. When the brakes are applied, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal, which provides effective braking. The system is virtually maintenance free and can cope with heavy loads over an extended period of time, with no fade and without the need for brake adjustments.

Drive Axle

The drive axles are designed to cope with the tough working environments in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in two stages - differential and hub reduction, which ensures a minimum of strain on the transmission system. The drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.

Parking Brake System

The parking brake system consists of a dry disc brake on the ingoing shaft of the drive axle. The disc brake is applied by means of a powerful spring in the parking brake cylinder and is released by means of hydraulic pressure from the parking brake valve.

Lift masts

All masts are constructed according to the free visibility principle. The mast profiles are made of high tensile steel, designed for minimal obstruction of the field of vision and long service life. All mast wheels for the bearing of longitudinal stress are fitted with high quality roller bearings. Lateral stresses are borne by plastic sliding plates.

Operational Performance

The efficiency of the lifting equipment is determined by a combination of lifting speed, capacity, visibility and user-friendliness. Lifting places heavy demands on the engine and working hydraulics, but lifting is only part of the operating cycle. Before the machine is in position to load or unload, the demands are instead on precise control with tight turning radius, effective brakes and high pulling power. Of course, all the functions must still perform optimally even after heavy use.

Transmission

All trucks in the series are equipped with well proven hydrodynamic transmission systems. The transmission has integrated gearbox and torque converter, for smooth, quick acceleration with a minimum of clutch-slip. Gear changing is electrically achieved via solenoid valves with three reverse and three forward gears, controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.

Attachments

The 7 tonne DCE machines have a twistlock attachment with mechanical levelling, adjustment 20'-40' and with a sideshift of ±140mm. The sidelift attachment has been designed for easy, safe and rapid handling, low weight and ease of maintenance. DCD70 and DCE80-90 are equipped with twistlock attachment and have a hydraulic cylinder between the attachment and the carriage that allows ±600 mm side-shift.
