Kalmar launches value based forklifts

The Kalmar Essential Range comprises 12 models with capacities ranging from 10 to 18 tonnes that can be customised with a variety of power, mast, cabin and safety options.

Peter Ivarsson, director, Forklift Trucks, Kalmar Global, said: “The new Essential Range complements our current range of medium-sized forklifts by providing a value based choice for our customers.”

“The Essential range is designed to exceed customers’ expectations by delivering everything they need in a medium-sized forklift.”

Mr Ivarsson added that because the Essential forklift range is based on Kalmar’s proven medium forklift range, they feature an easy-maintenance electrical system, common driver interface, high-quality components and a highly stable and durable chassis.

The new Essential cabin improves driver comfort and safety with excellent all-round visibility, power steering and easy lift operation as well as non-slip stairs and handrails.

They are also compatible with Kalmar SmartFleet, a powerful equipment monitoring and optimisation tool that makes it easy to analyse performance data and helps to further improve efficiency and productivity.
