Kalmar has launched a new range of forklifts, the 'Kalmar Essential Range', for demanding applications including container, steel and wood handling.
The Essential range comprises 12 models with capacities ranging from 10 to 18 tons that can be customised with a variety of power, mast, cabin and safety options.
Kalmar has reported that the new addition to its product portfolio features “an easy-maintenance electrical system, common driver interface, high-quality components and a highly stable and durable chassis”.
The company has also stated that a new Essential cabin has improved driver comfort and safety with “excellent all-round visibility, power steering and easy lift operation” as well as non-slip stairs and handrails.
Compatibility with Kalmar SmartFleet, a equipment monitoring and optimisation tool that analyses performance data, helps to further improve efficiency and productivity.
