Kalmar introduces a new range of light forklifts to help customers improve productivity and save fuel
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, TRADE PRESS RELEASE, 25 JANUARY 2017 AT 10 AM (EET)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, is launching a new range of diesel forklifts. The
Kalmar DCG50-90 range, comprising seven models, has been updated to provide
better uptime, productivity and savings.
Kalmar's light forklifts have a strong worldwide reputation for performance and
adaptability, with 87% of existing customers saying they would repurchase. All
models in the new range feature the state-of-the-art EGO cabin for excellent
3600 visibility as well as an optional reverse camera for an even clearer rear
view. Along with climate control, ergonomic features make the EGO cabin a safe
and comfortable working environment that can be customised to each driver's
needs.
The new forklifts also have an optimised drive train, hydraulic system, and
electrical system that improve productivity by 10% compared to the previous
generation - meaning operators will be able to perform on average 100 more lifts
per week. Compatibility with Kalmar SmartFleet, a powerful equipment monitoring
and optimisation tool that makes it easy to analyse performance data, helps to
further improve efficiency and productivity.
To help customers save costs and meet their environmental targets, the DCG50-90
range uses AGCO 44AWF Stage 4 engines to reduce fuel consumption by 15% and NOx
emissions by 89% when compared to Stage 3 engines. The forklifts are available
with five to nine ton capacity.
Peter Ivarsson, Director, Forklift Trucks at Kalmar, says: "We're proud to
introduce the new range of industrial diesel forklifts. These machines are
highly customisable to a range of operations and are all designed specifically
to help our customers do more work in less time - which should ultimately
translate into larger revenues and higher productivity."
The new range of light forklifts will be presented at the LogiMAT exhibition in
Stuttgart, 14-16 of March, in Hall 8, Stand 8B14.
