Performance at its best

Kalmar’s G-generation forklifts feature the latest in fuel-efficient technology and offer low total cost of ownership. For demanding applications such as steel and wood handling, they provide the best possible return on investment.

The DCG90–180 is designed for superior uptime, lower fuel consumption and reduced maintenance costs. DCG90-180 is available with the latest generation of engines from both Volvo and Cummins. They both meet the requirements of Stage 3B/Tier4i emission standards.

The DCG90-180 is equipped with a variable hydraulic pump as standard. The variable pump significantly lowers the strain on the hydraulic system and allows the forklift to fully perform when it's needed. This features has also proven to lower the fuel consumption of the machine while raising the performance at the same time. 

Since these machines are often used in the toughest of environments, we have improved the cooling system of DCG90-180. A variable hydraulic fan keeps the engine and hydraulic cool even at the most extreme operations. The fan can also be reversed to clean the cooler from dust and dirt. 

Our most productive driving environment ever 

For operators, our EGO cabin provides an outstanding driving environment, packed with features that support productivity, efficiency and safety. The curved front and rear windows give exceptional visibility at all angles, particularly diagonally, and the profiled beams eliminate blind spots. The whole interior has been designed with the driver in mind. More or less everything is adjustable to fit all kind of drivers. For example the steering wheel can be adjusted in every possible angle, it can even be tilted sideways. Operators will also benefit from a fully integrated, rotatable seat. Perfect for handling large wood stacks.

A smoother ride 

The DCG90-180 is also available in a big wheel version suitable for rough terrain conditions. We developed big wheel to give you a smoother ride. Equipped with oversized front wheels, these forklifts allow you to work efficiently, and comfortably, even when surface conditions are poor. You get superb traction and can work productively in rough conditions where high ground clearance is required. The big tyres also provide excellent suspension when driving over uneven surfaces.

Up to 90% less CO2 emissions with HVO100 fuel

Kalmar Stage 3, 4 & 5 reachstackers, forklifts, terminal tractors and empty container handlers fitted with Volvo or Cummins engines are now certified to use HVO100. If you own a certified machine, you just need to discuss with your local Kalmar support team if your equipment needs a minor upgrade or it is ready to start using HVO straight away.

It’s quick and easy to get fitted and will start cutting your CO2 emissions by up to 90% as soon as you start using HVO100 Fuel.

All-round excellence

Low fuel consumption 

The advanced engine provides maximum power and torque at low rpm, which means improved fuel efficiency without compromising reliability, durability or performance. The new variable hydraulic system and modern lifting equipment can reduce fuel consumption by up to 18% compared to its predecessor, the DCE90-180.

Excellent lifting performance

The modern electric and hydraulic systems ensure fast response and better control. New variable hydraulic pumps increase productivity by enabling faster lifting speeds.

Reversible cooling fan

An optional reversible cooling fan keeps the radiator clean from potentially harmful dust, dirt or particles. A perfect option for saw mills or other dusty environments.

Faster, easier maintenance

The electrical cabinet is easy to access for maintenance, and all hydraulic oil filters can be accessed from a single location. Tilting the cabin and opening the engine cover exposes the entire power train, and all checkpoints for daily inspection are easily accessible at ground level.

Turnable driving seat

DCG90-180 can be offered with a 180 degrees turnable driving seat. A perfect option for safe operations when handling bulky goods.

Reliable electronics

The DCG90–180 features a fast, intelligent and stable electronics system that is reliable and easy to maintain. It has fewer connection points and cables compared to older systems and features a distributed and redundant CAN bus that monitors the condition and performance of the engine, control units, gearbox, valves and more.
