The new ultimate top-lift handler – the Kalmar DCF-series.
These heavy-duty container handlers have been developed exclusively for ports and terminals with strong demands on productivity and high quality operation. This is a machine, which have long been asked for among demanding terminal operators all over the world.
When we designed the Kalmar DCF top-lift we already knew the detailed status of all the main alternatives on the market. Hence, we designed a machine which meets or exceeds the specifications of the others –on the spec sheet and in reality.
Three models cover container handling between 80,000 – 100,000 lbs capacity, 20’-40’ containers and up to five high stacking at full capacity. This means that you may easily find the right machine or combination of machines to suit your operational requirements.
To leverage operational productivity it’s essential that the driver has full control over every moment of the handling sequence. This starts with the 360º visibility from the Spirit Delta cabin and is followed by the open design of the mast and gantry. The visual contact with the stack, container corners, twist-locks and spreader is optimised.
Fine-tuning the spreader to handle uneven levels or loads, mast tilt, extension, twistlock landing is accomplished utilising a powerful electronic support feedback and control system.
