KALMAR DCD 370-12 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Kalmar DCD 370-12 is a heavy-duty diesel forklift designed for industrial and port handling applications requiring exceptional load capacity and robust performance. It features an overall width of approximately 13.7 feet and a wheelbase of 16.5 feet, providing stability during heavy lifting operations. The forklift uses a pneumatic tire system with two wheels in the front and two in the rear, optimized for rough terrain and outdoor use. It has an operating weight of about 104,720 lbs, reflecting its substantial construction and capability. The mast is engineered to handle load capacities up to 81,571 lbs with a load center of 47.3 inches, allowing it to efficiently lift and transport extremely heavy containers or equipment. The forklift is powered typically by a turbocharged straight six diesel engine, such as the Volvo TWD 1240VE, delivering high torque and power for demanding environments. The hydraulic system supports lifting and braking functions with pressures up to around 16.5 MPa, including oil-cooled wet disc brakes for effective stopping power. Standard instrumentation includes a well-organized control panel featuring warning lamps for critical system monitoring such as battery charge, engine oil pressure, and brake pressure, enhancing operational safety and maintenance awareness. Cooling, heating, defrost, and recirculation fans are integrated for operator comfort and equipment performance. The Kalmar DCD 370-12 is designed as a container special (CS) variant with a raised central cab position and low tilt cylinders to meet specific container handling needs efficiently.
