Kalmar launches its new-generation heavy forklift truck for the US market
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 7 OCTOBER 2015 AT 6 PM (EEST)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has announced the North American launch of its highly
acclaimed heavy forklift at the Breakbulk Exhibition in Houston on 7 October
2015. The Kalmar DCG180-330, which competes in the 18-33 tonne capacity sector,
was successfully launched across Europe in February this year. Designed
specifically for heavy-duty cargo handling in industrial applications, this
Kalmar forklift has created the benchmark for cost efficiency and productivity.
With this heavy forklift truck, Kalmar has responded to customers' increasing
demands for enhanced safety, higher levels of performance and lower operating
costs.The EGO cabin provides the operator with exceptional visibility, low noise
levels and intelligent ergonomics, representing one of the most user-friendly
environments currently available.
Additionally, the truck features three different drive modes, each optimised to
meet operational requirements, depending upon the application. The driver can
select between the 'Power' setting which maximises performance by increasing the
number of tonnes moved per hour. The 'Normal' setting balances power and economy
to optimise profitability. And if total cost of operations outweighs the need
for performance, the 'Economy' mode is preferred, resulting in up to 15% fuel
savings, when compared to previous models.
Peter Olsson, Sales Director, Forklift Trucks, Kalmar USA said, "The American
launch of our new-generation heavy forklift is a highly anticipated event that
we are really looking forward to. The Kalmar DCG180-330 has been very well
received in Europe because, quite simply, it has exceeded the expectations of
our customers.
"When it comes to productivity, coupled to the low cost of operation, this truck
really sets the standard. Ultimately, equipment is judged on its return on
investment and that's where Kalmar consistently delivers. Good news travels fast
and it seems like the American market has been eagerly anticipating this
remarkable forklift. We are confident of its continued success, particularly for
applications in the oil industry, ports, steel and heavy manufacture," he
concluded.
