2015 - Kalmar DCG150-12 Container Handler

About this machine

This Kalmar DCG150-12 is a mast container handler — sometimes referred to as a reach stacker's counterpart in heavy lift operations — a purpose-built machine used for lifting, moving, and stacking loaded or empty shipping containers in ports, rail terminals, logistics hubs, and industrial yards. Kalmar is a well-established Finnish manufacturer specialising in heavy material handling equipment, with a strong global presence in port machinery, container handling, and terminal automation.

This 2015 machine is offered in used condition from Denmark and carries a comprehensive specification package that reflects heavy-duty commercial operation.

The handler is equipped with an integrated sideshift and fork positioner, allowing precise lateral adjustment and fork spacing at the mast face — a practical feature when aligning with varying container floor pockets without repositioning the entire machine. The roller-guided forks have a thickness of 100 mm and are set to a load centre of 1,200 mm, which is the standard reference distance for rated capacity calculations. The overall forklift width is 2,500 mm.

Drive is transmitted through a torque converter transmission, which is the conventional choice for heavy container handlers due to its smooth power delivery and durability under repeated load cycles. The running gear consists of pneumatic tyres sized front and rear, mounted on drive wheels, providing traction and load-bearing capacity across hard-standing terminal surfaces. The machine also features a dual tread configuration.

The operator environment is a full steel cabin enclosure with a hydraulic sliding cabin for improved access and mast visibility. For lighting, the machine is extensively equipped: it carries road-legal lighting for public road use, a rotary warning flash, mast-mounted LED work lights, and an additional front work light, with a further light specification noted at 700.

Supporting equipment includes front and rear mudguards, a centralised greasing system to reduce maintenance downtime, a NATO socket for auxiliary power connections, and rear mudguards. The centralised greasing system is a practical feature on a machine of this duty cycle, allowing multiple lubrication points to be serviced from a single location.
