Essential forklift 10–18 tons

Kalmar quality for all.

A great price shouldn’t mean compromising on quality, which is why our new Essential Forklift give you everything you expect from Kalmar. A forklift built on a tried and tested, reliable and robust platform that is made for the most demanding applications. With lifting capacities from 10-18 tonnes, they are ideal for containers, steel and wood.

A proven platform

We know that availability and reliability are key to your operational success, so we have built our new Essential Forklift on our latest platform, which has been already been used in over 10,000 Kalmar machines.  You will benefit from a highly stable and durable chassis, common electrical systems for easy trouble shooting and a colour HMI screen for improved diagnostics.

A wide range of choice

Our new Essential Forklift gives you plenty of choice, so you can specify a machine that is suited to your exact needs. You get a choice of:

• 7 different lifting capacities
• 3 different masts
• 3 different cabs
• 2 different mounting heights
• 2 different engines with two different ratings.

The choice is yours.

Lifting

You get a choice of lifting capacities – 10, 12, 12.7, 14, 15, 16 and 18 tonnes. You also get a choice of load centring positions depending on the lifting capacity chosen.

Masts

You get a choice of three different masts, all with clear view. A duplex standard mast, duplex full free mast, or a triplex full free lift mast for a lower closed mast height.
