3 JULY 2013

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has announced the launch of the DCF50-90 forklift truck, the latest in the series of industry-leading light range of 5-9 tonne capacity machines.

The new truck boasts several technological improvements designed to boost operational efficiency and provide the driver with a high level of comfort, for round-the-clock operations. It is the first in the new generation of light machines to be equipped with an SCR traction control system. Along with the new 77kW and 85kW Agco engines, they combine to reduce fuel consumption and meet the latest EU (Stage IIIB, Tier 4i) emission requirements. The new engine also creates less vibration and is mounted under the cabin, where an automatically operated hydraulic fan is situated. These features together with the reversed airflow make the operator environment cooler, quieter and considerably more comfortable for the driver, particularly those experiencing long shifts.

Another innovative feature of the fan is the ability to reverse the airflow when operating in dusty environments. This allows for cleaning the cooler and engine compartment by flushing the dust out of the cooler.
