ECG60-6 Kalmar electric forklift specs & dimensions (2014 - 2024)

Hundreds of options to choose from

You can have your Kalmar forklift truck designed almost exactly as you want it. No other forklift brand offers as many options as Kalmar.

Energy costs – electric vs. diesel forklift

Total costs will reach break even within two years. Based on 2,500 hours of operation per year, you will reduce total energy costs by 75% when shifting from a diesel forklift to an electric forklift.

Electric vs. Diesel Forklift

It depends on the task at hand and on your driving patterns. An electric forklift gives you full torque immediately, which makes it very fast at short distances. The diesel forklift, on the other hand, has a higher maximum speed. So for most common driving patterns – with short driving distances and many turns, stops and starts – an electric forklift offers similar or better performance.

Optimized for time or speed?

Sometimes a job must be done fast. Then you need extra power. Sometimes it is more important to make sure your battery power lasts throughout a long shift, or even necessary if there is no spare battery pack available. Optimizing the forklift for maximum battery time, speed, or normal driving is set easily by the operator, using Eco Drive Modes.

Ergonomic steering wheel

The patented new steering wheel is engineered to reduce stress and increase productivity through carefully tested ergonomic design. It is adjustable and can be tilted to the side for comfortable manoeuvring, especially during reversing.

Comfort pedals

A new, flexible and fail-safe pedal system with adjustable pedal angles for minimal strain on the foot. The floor-based solution, with a hanging pedal feel, lets you drive hard longer with less fatigue.

Lower maintenance costs

No starter, no generator, no turbo, no fuel pump, no water pump. Just to mention a few of the parts you never need to worry about with an electric forklift truck. Designed with few moving parts, the forklift keeps going year after year.

Lifting equipment

We offer a full range of duplex, triplex and free-lift equipment. Based on our long tradition as a supplier of heavy forklifts, our lifting equipment is robust and of the highest quality.

Gentle to your goods, your people and the world

Driving an electric forklift truck is driving ecologically – no nitrogen oxides, no carbon dioxide, no particles. Going electric is taking a giant leap into building the factory of the future. An electric forklift is a must have if you are dealing with sensitive goods such as food or pharmaceuticals. But whatever goods you are handling, you will enjoy the clean air that comes from using electric forklifts. Operators will experience an improved working environment. They are relieved of the vibrations that are always a pity with a combustion engine. And even if other machinery continues to make noise, you will no longer need ear protection because of your forklifts.

Look out for the blue light

If you are new to electric forklifts, it may seem strange at first, that working forklifts drive past in silence. Noise it may be, the forklift’s low noise level can actually be a risk. That is why we have introduced a blue safety light to alert people that the forklift is on its way.

Cabins

Since its introduction in 2011, Kalmar’s EGO cabin has set a new benchmark in driver comfort, visibility and simplicity – and, above all, ergonomics. The cabin is spacious, controls are easy to use and intuitively positioned, and visibility is excellent 360 degrees. The EGO cabin is available in a standard version with windows and an open, overhead-guard version, EGO OHG.

Endless visibility

A totally new and spacious cabin design for optimized visibility at all angles. Smart profiles and curved windows combine to provide exceptionally good forward, diagonal and rearward visibility. The sensation is almost like working outdoors and helps improve both efficiency and safety.

Work console

The operator’s extended arm is easy to adjust, easy to use and easy to understand. Here you’ll find all the controls, switches and indicators necessary for efficient operation, in a flexible and ergonomic design. The console consists of intuitively placed panels and controls for data display and machine control systems.

Adjustable multi-seat

The fully integrated Kalmar seat has been carefully developed to ensure the best possible comfort and sitting posture for long shifts and demanding operations. A rotatable seat is available as option, improving safety if you need to go in reverse due to limited forward visibility when handling bulky goods.

Climate package

A complete and fully automatic climate package that meets the stringent demands of our climate-tested EGO cabin. Large air intakes mean easy filter replacement at the front, while well dimensioned and carefully designed components provide superior interior comfort.
