Brabant AG has a number of Kalmar forklifts in its range. A Kalmar forklift offers the flexibility you need as a customer. There are multiple models with different functions in the product range. Whether it concerns an electric, LPG, or diesel engine, based on the industrial power you require, Brabant AG offers the right Kalmar machine. A Kalmar forklift guarantees good performance, the right capacity, and durability.
Below you will find our range of new or used Kalmar forklifts. You can also read more about the types of Kalmar forklifts first.
A forklift is designed to move loads that cannot be transported without the hydraulic power of this machine. A very popular brand of forklift is Kalmar. Kalmar machines are durable, reliable, and extremely suitable for heavy lifting, hoisting, and transport work. A Kalmar forklift gives your company the flexibility to handle the most diverse loads and applications. The versatility of a Kalmar makes the forklift usable anywhere and anytime, even under the most extreme weather conditions. A Kalmar forklift is among the most used trucks in the construction industry.
A Kalmar forklift is electric or equipped with an LPG/diesel engine with sufficient industrial power. All types are economical to operate, easy to maneuver, and extremely safe. All Kalmar transport equipment is known for being particularly user-friendly and easy to maintain, with favorable maintenance intervals.
Safety is an important aspect of operating a forklift. Both Brabant AG and the brands in its product range recognize this importance. Specifically, the maximum weight and forward center of gravity are assessed for each individual forklift. In many cases, the manufacturer provides this type of information on the machine, making it easy to retrieve. Safety plays a major role when operating a forklift. In addition to lifting, lowering, and tilting, rear-wheel steering requires a bit of extra knowledge. It depends on the steering method the operator is accustomed to. It is comparable to reversing a car in a straight line, and is therefore not easy. A final characteristic of a forklift is its instability. A forklift is viewed as a single unit together with its load. This sometimes causes the center of gravity to shift rapidly and the machine to become unstable. Therefore, a forklift must always ensure that the centers of gravity are correct when taking a turn.
Kalmar offers two types of forklifts: electric and fuel-powered models. But which forklift best suits your needs? Brabant AG has the expertise to advise you. The difference is actually simple! Electric forklifts are almost always equipped with a battery. There are differences in size and capacity, making it easy to match the one to the tasks for which you intend to use it. Additionally, a battery charging station is logically required. There is a legal obligation to limit the number of batteries on the work floor. Is shift work performed? Then you can, of course, opt for battery swapping. With fuel-powered forklifts, a distinction is made between diesel and LPG engines. Due to stricter regulations regarding these forklifts, diesel forklifts with a lifting capacity lower than 4 tons may no longer simply be deployed. A major advantage of these forklifts compared to electric forklifts is that they are continuously operational. Filling an LPG bottle or tank takes significantly less time than changing a battery. Be careful where you store the tanks.
Forklifts from Kalmar's new Essential series have a lifting capacity of 10 to 18 tons. This is comparable to the forklifts from the earlier Kalmar DCG90/180 series. The difference lies in the price. The Essential series has a smaller package of options and extras and can therefore be offered at a more favorable price, without compromising on the quality of the forklift. The Essential forklift is built with proven and, above all, reliable Kalmar technology.
Everything you expect from a Kalmar forklift can be found in the Essential series of forklifts: high productivity at a competitive price. A Kalmar forklift is built to handle the heaviest loads, making them highly suitable for applications in the container, steel, and timber industries. A Kalmar Essential forklift is available with various masts.
Kalmar is one of the market leaders in forklifts. A Kalmar forklift is indestructible and has a high resale value. By purchasing a forklift from Kalmar’s Essential series, you acquire a medium-sized forklift at a competitive price, in which no compromises have been made regarding standard functions and safety in either design or construction. As with all other machines, Kalmar offers support services for maintenance, including Kalmar Care and Kalmar Genuine Parts.
The spacious cab of the Kalmar Essential forklift has everything a driver needs to work optimally. Standard features include large windows, an access door on both sides, an adjustable seat, power steering, and non-slip steps and handrails, which enhance safety alongside driver comfort. The forklift features simple lift operation via control levers, but can also be optionally equipped with a convenient joystick.
A Kalmar forklift is an easy-to-maintain machine with maintenance intervals of 500 hours. Performing daily inspections and routine maintenance is particularly simple and, above all, safe – because all control points and checkpoints are accessible from ground level.
