The Kalmar ECE 50-6 belongs to the ECE range, which Kalmar lists as the electrically driven variant alongside the diesel-powered DCE range. It lifts 5,000 kg at a load centre of 609.6 mm, weighs 8,400 kg empty and is 1,550 mm wide. At this width it is one of the narrowest trucks of the range and manages in halls and aisles where larger types could not turn.
Pneumatic tyres with two wheels at the front and two at the rear allow use on yard and hall floor alike. The electric drive is emission-free and quieter, which counts in enclosed spaces and in port areas with emission rules. The 50 in the name corresponds to the lifting capacity in hundreds of kilograms and the 6 to the short load centre. Typical places of use are the steel trade, building material centres and logistics halls with medium-heavy cargo. Charging infrastructure and battery capacity determine shift length and should be checked when buying.
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.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
