Advantages

- Diesel power: Diesel engines are the backbone of high-capacity industrial forklifts for good reason. They deliver strong low-end torque, consistent power under load, and the durability needed to operate through long shifts and heavy duty cycles. For buyers who demand reliability and performance, the Diesel specification on the Kalmar DCD250-12LB is a key advantage.

- Heated Cab: A Heated Cab is more than a comfort feature—it’s a productivity and safety benefit. Operators working in cold climates or during winter months can stay warm and focused, which helps maintain consistent performance and reduces downtime. Keeping windows clear and comfortable temperatures inside the cab supports better visibility and alertness.

- Fork Positioner: The Fork Positioner allows operators to adjust fork spacing from the cab. This saves time when handling different pallet sizes, wide loads, or specialty picks. Instead of leaving the seat to manually reposition forks, the operator can fine-tune fork width quickly and precisely, reducing cycle times and minimizing the risk of product damage.

- Side Shift: Side Shift is essential for precise placement. Instead of re-approaching the load, the operator can nudge the carriage left or right to align with racks, trailers, or staging positions. This feature is a major contributor to faster loading/unloading, tighter stacking, and lower risk when placing heavy or high-value materials in tight spaces.

- 55,000 lb capacity: With a 55,000 lb capacity, this DCD250-12LB opens the door to work that lighter forklifts cannot touch. Whether you’re moving steel products, precast concrete, large equipment, heavy lumber packs, or industrial components, the capacity rating means you can do more with fewer lifts and less risk of overloading a smaller machine.

- 150" MAst / 157" Lift Height: The mast and lift heights on this unit support efficient staging and stacking for large-format materials. Having the ability to reach 157" of lift height offers practical versatility for racking, loading flatbeds, or organizing tall stacks in yard operations.

Applications

• Steel and metals: Handling coil, plate, bar stock, beams, and fabricated assemblies
• Precast concrete and construction materials: Moving precast elements, large forms, and heavy building products
• Ports, terminals, and intermodal yards: Positioning heavy cargo, containers, and project freight
• Lumber and timber: Managing oversized packs, beams, and specialty wood products
• Heavy manufacturing: Transporting machinery, molds, dies, and equipment during production or maintenance
• Rigging and machinery moving: Lifting and positioning large machines for installation or relocation
• Energy and infrastructure: Handling components for power generation, wind, and industrial infrastructure projects
