DCG680-12LB Kalmar diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2014 - 2020)

Easy to operate

With levers or a new joystick, electronically adjustable work console and side tilt steering wheel, the controls are all designed to minimise driver fatigue and maximise operational efficiency.

Extra support

Our user interface combines sight, sound and touch to create a perfectly balanced driving environment with a new colour display at heart. Advanced diagnostics allows for greater operational control and safety.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

Helps to reduce wear and tear on tyres which results in reduced fuel consumption. Bluetooth sensors keep the driver advised of the condition of the tyres at all times. An active care of your tyres can lead to a 10-40% increase in tyre life and up to a 10% decrease in fuel consumption.

Heat Protection Package

To protect your machine and operator from extreme heat generated in foundries, where molten metal can reach 2000°C. All hoses in the mast and carriage are heat protected, and an extra windshield is fitted to protect the cabin from splashes from the vat.

Ready to take on your heaviest loads.

Introducing a powerful and versatile heavy lifter, the new Kalmar Super Heavy Forklift truck. Capable of shifting loads of up to 72 tons, it handles your heaviest loads with ease. Ideal for steel, concrete and other heavy industries.

Highly productive.

No matter what you are lifting in your foundry, factory, terminal or assembly line, the new Kalmar Super Heavy Forklift will do it efficiently, effectively and safely. It can lift the heaviest loads without compromising its maneuverability, agility or the safety and comfort of your operator. With increased lowering and lifting speeds and a highly efficient and powerful driveline, you can expect a forklift that will become a central part of your logistics chain.

Steel Industry.

With steel coils weighing up to 30 tons each, our new Super Heavy Forklift is able to lift two coils at once and move them quickly and efficiently around the foundry. It is also able to handle a range of heavy steel slabs and pipes.

Wind Industry.

With wind tower sections exceeding 100 tons each, our new super heavy forklifts, when working in tandem, will be able to lift, shift and load these sections with ease.

Heavy Industry.

Flat, round or bulky - our new Super Heavy Forklift, with a wide range of lifting attachments, will be able to handle all of your heavy lifting needs up to 72 tons.

Efficiency without compromise.

Often a more efficient driveline, means compromising on power. By combining a highly efficient and powerful engine with an 5+3 speed gearbox and reliable drive axle, you will have all the power you need, yet benefit from reduced fuel consumption. All our engine alternatives are compliant with the latest EU Stage 4/Tier 4 emissions standards.

Choose your performance level.

Our super heavy forklift comes with ECO-Drive, giving three different power modes to choose from. The three different power modes are:Power Mode: when speed is of the essence. With Power Mode you will be able to move quickly around the yard, lift and lower at full speed, without compromising on safety.Normal Mode: when you need to retain some speed. With a slightly reduced engine speed you can expect 5-15% lower running and fuel costs than Power Mode.Economy Mode: when you need the lowest running costs. With the engine speed reduced even further you can expect 10-25% lower running and fuel costs.

Cost Efficiency.

The initial price of your new forklift is only part of the total running cost of your machine. What really matters is being able to reduce these costs without compromising on the productivity of your new machine, which is why our super heavy forklift comes with numerous costs saving features.

Clear view

A-posts have been replaced with slim B-posts, to provide greater visibility in all directions: forwards, backwards, to the side and upwards. Our combined roof/ front wiper system cleans a bigger area of the front windscreen and the transparent roof than before, making sure your forward and upwards view stays extra clean and clear at all times.

More comfortable

With an adjustable driver’s seat, a new multi seat pedals system and climate control system with smart controller, your driver will benefit from improved ventilation, heating and cooling, plus a cabin with superior interior comfort.

Reverse Warning System (RWS)

Knowing what’s going on behind you is critical when other personnel are present. Four rear sensors and a reversing camera relay real-time information to an in-cabin display, alerting the driver to any dangers, increasing personnel and driver safety.

Reverse Beeper System

When your staff are working side-by-side with moving vehicles there is always a safety risk. Installing a reverse beeper system provides a clear acoustic alert when the machine is reversing so personnel can make sure they stay out of harm’s way at all times.

Alco-Lock

To ensure your driver is at their best when operating your equipment you can install an Alco-Lock system. This system makes sure that the driver meets alcohol blood level standards before being able to start the machine, much like a breathalyser.

Additional lighting

If you have to operate your machine at night, extra lighting can add safety for your personnel and your additional load. You can choose between LED, HID or halogen lights which can be mounted on masts or placed at the front or rear of your forklift.
