KALMAR DCE 80-6HM SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Kalmar DCE 80-6HM is a diesel-powered industrial forklift engineered for demanding material handling operations. This robust machine features a compact overall width of 6.6 feet, making it maneuverable in confined warehouse and industrial spaces, while maintaining an 8.6-foot wheelbase that provides excellent stability during lifting operations. The forklift delivers an impressive load capacity of 17,637 pounds at a standard 24-inch load center, positioning it as a heavy-duty solution for substantial freight handling requirements. The mast system incorporates hydraulically controlled tilting capabilities with support wheels that distribute axial forces effectively, ensuring secure load management throughout the operational envelope. Equipped with a modern drivetrain designed for efficient fuel consumption and minimal emissions, the DCE 80-6HM combines performance with environmental responsibility. The machine operates on a four-wheel configuration with two front-drive wheels and two rear-steering wheels, all fitted with durable pneumatic tires that provide superior traction and shock absorption on varied industrial surfaces. Operating at a net weight of 23,810 pounds, the forklift maintains a favorable power-to-weight ratio while delivering consistent performance in demanding applications. The advanced transmission incorporates a torque converter with constant-mesh gearing and hydraulically actuated clutches, enabling smooth gear transitions and precise load control. The clear-vision mast design enhances operator visibility and safety during material handling tasks, while the tilting cylinders feature back-pressure valves preventing unintended load shifting. This configuration makes the DCE 80-6HM an ideal choice for container handling, warehouse operations, and heavy-duty industrial logistics environments.
