The Kalmar DCD 320-9LB belongs to the heavy-duty forklifts of the DCD range that Kalmar builds for ports and for container and steel handling. With a lifting capacity of 32,000 kg at a load centre of 900.2 mm and a kerb weight of 39,200 kg it is one of those machines whose own mass exceeds the payload. The width of 3,410 mm decides which hall doors and aisles it can pass.
The number 320 in the name corresponds to the capacity in hundreds of kilograms and the 9 after the hyphen to the load centre; the ending LB marks a version within the range. Pneumatic tyres with two wheels at the front and two at the rear make the machine fit for paved terminal areas. In service the truck lifts heavy loads, steel coils and large containers where smaller forklifts no longer suffice. Servicing and parts depend on the serial number of the individual machine.
Kalmar DCD, DCE and ECE – heavy forklift trucks from Sweden
Kalmar builds cargo-handling equipment for ports, terminals and heavy industry. Its forklift line traces back to the workshop Lidhults Mekaniska Verkstad, which built its first forklift for a local sawmill in 1949 and began serial production in 1952. In 1974 Kalmar Verkstad took over the company and a year later acquired Ljungbytruck; together they operated as Kalmar LMV. Since 2005 Kalmar has been part of Cargotec.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
