new range of medium-size trucks.
Our highly praised medium range of trucks
has now been further developed and
improved. It has also beneted from many
entirely new solutions.
The aim of our development work has been
the creation of a unique driving experience,
visibility and handling which, together with
high quality, long life and ease of service,
provide the conditions for efcient working
and excellent overall economy.
Powerful and hard-wearing power
trains with new improved gearboxes
or electronically controlled gear units,
perfectly matched with optional,
environmentally friendly engines; wellbalanced bodies for optimum dynamic
stability and visibility; the number of
options providing an unbelievable driving
experience, safety and efciency. Design
and technical solutions result in increased

Choose your own driving environment
Spirit Delta
The scientic work that has featured
throughout the development process has
made the Spirit Delta the best designed
driving environment available in the industry.
Priority has been given to ergonomics for
the driver. After a demanding shift in a
Spirit Delta, the driver should be alert and
attentive, resulting in improved working
safety.
The overall design and all the adjustment
options mean that the Spirit Delta will
benet every driver. Instruments and control
layout allow the driver to see at a glance and
have control over all the machine’s various
functions, while at the same time allowing
the driver to work in an efcient and relaxed
way. Visibility has been optimised and has
further beneted from the truck’s new soft
design lines. Comfort with regard to noise
level, climate, lighting and accessibility is at
the highest level possible.
The driver of the Spirit Delta can have
Kalmar’s range of intelligent efciency and
safety options in one place.
FlexCab
FlexCab is a robust alternative for those
operations that do not require the total
concept represented by Spirit Delta.
At the same time FlexCab provides good
ergonomics, good visibility and also
practical exibility. FlexCab can be quickly
and simply converted from a complete
cabin to an open safety cage with or
without windows, side panels and heating
system, depending on climate.
The robust body has been designed to
provide optimal visibility. This is especially
noticeable at the corner posts and roof
rails, which have the smallest cross-section
possible for the benet of the driver. The
elds of vision are substantial and the
distance between the driver’s seat and the
roof has been generously increased.
Efcient operation is ensured by control
and instrument layout and the degree of
comfort of the driver’s seat.
Kalmar’s electronic system gives the truck intelligence
Kalmar’s electronic system is a fast,
intelligent and stable auxiliary electronic
system that makes the truck driver-friendly,
effective, safe and economical.
Kalmar’s electronic system has been
thoroughly upgraded using CANbus
technology and new software to deliver
high speeds and a high level of exibility
and operational safety.

We have also produced for the Kalmar 9
- 18 tonne range a new, very simple and
non-language-specic interface for the
information on the steering wheel display.
Information is provided in three areas diagnostics, operation and alarms.
There are plenty of options available, from
ergonomic functions such as lever and
mini steering wheel control, to functions
for reduced fuel consumption (Optirev) or
increased lifting speed (Optispeed).
A complete program of lifting equipment
Choosing lifting equipment always involves
a combination of different requirements
- lift height, clearance, free lift, vehicle
exibility, as well as in-built functions in the
vehicle.
Whatever the requirements, Kalmar has the
combination that allows efcient operation
and optimum visibility conditions.
The mast frame on the new Kalmar 9 - 18
series has been further improved, primarily
in terms of the driver’s visibility. Thin frame
and cross bars have been combined with
well-placed hoses and hoist chains that are
“invisible” during normal operation. The
xing points for the tilt cylinders have also
been strengthened to meet the ever-greater
We are now able to offer a very interesting
number of new options that make operation
both more efcient and safer - Optispeed
(increased lifting speed), lift height pre-set
(going directly to the right height), vertical
hold (always vertical) and chain-slack
elimination.
We have tted the Kalmar 9 - 18 range with
the very best power trains. Engine, gearbox,
drive shaft and wet disc brakes - everything
has been built and combined into a unit with
the highest performance and durability
possible. Together with the excellent
dynamic stability of the new series, this
provides a driving experience and level
of control throughout the work cycle that
cannot be compared with anything that has
gone before.
Low emission engines - a requirement
We can offer seven different power trains
based on Volvo and Cummins engines. Both
engines provide high torque even at low
revolutions.
The engines fall well within the latest
emission requirements and they also
conform to the new noise power standards
(previously noise pressure).
Level 2 engines require more powerful
cooling than before and so the trucks come
tted with an efcient and easy-to-service
split cooling system - for air and fuel and
coolant to the engine and gearbox.
The air lter is a two-stage Donaldson
with a pre-cleaner in stage one and a ner
cellulose lter for the smallest particles in
stage two. This can also be replaced by a
metallic or dust particle lter as an option.
The lter has a high cleaning capacity and is
easy to replace.
Unique transmission
gives an unbelievable experience
We are able to offer ve types of gearboxes.
First there is the Dana 20000, an improved
version of the Clark 20000 with hydraulic
modulation for 3 +3 gears. Automatic gear
changing is also available as an option using
Kalmar’s electronic system.
The Dana 28000 and 32000 are two tried and
tested high-performance gearboxes.
The others, the Dana 13000 and 17000,
which were developed in collaboration with
Kalmar, are two entirely new gearboxes with
integrated electronic control, monitoring
and intelligence. The gearboxes have built-in
6
reversing lock and modulation, providing safe
and smooth gear changing. In addition we
also optimise slipping electronically before
delivery to provide the best gear-changing
characteristics depending on power train,
wheel dimension and drive shaft.
There are three optional grades of
“intelligence” to choose from: innitely
variable automatic gear-changing,
Optidrive (for precision driving with entirely
independent working hydraulics) and
electronic inching with controlled slipping.

The Kalmar 9 -18 range consists of a series
of models that have been designed in every
respect to provide long life with minimum
downtime. This has been achieved by
using technical solutions and components,
but not subjecting the truck to “in-built”
stresses that result in unnecessary wear
and higher costs. In this case we have
made a lot of improvements to something
that was already good.
Optimised chassis modules, xings,
frames, dynamic stability, electronically
controlled power trains, wet disc brakes,
more reliable and more efcient hydraulic
systems, smart options such as variable
piston pumps or Optirev, and not least, an
unbelievable driving experience. It is the
entire package that determines the quality.
Daily inspection
Daily inspections must be simple and
easy to carry out. All check points for
daily inspection are directly accessible at
working height under the engine cover on
the side of the truck. It can all be done in
just a few minutes.
Safety
All Kalmar trucks are CE-marked and
designed according to the following
standards:
• Machine directive 98/37/EG
• EMC directive 89/336
• Sound emission directive 2000/14/EC
Greater service intervals
Service intervals for the Kalmar 9 - 18 range
have been extended. Regular services
are needed only after 500 hours’ driving.
A simple calculation shows that a longer
service interval alone reduces a truck’s
operating costs by as much as 15% - and
then there is the service downtime.
www.kalmarind.com
Fast service and maintenance
The new Kalmar 9 - 18 range has been
designed to provide the best possible
accessibility. Tilting the cabin and opening
the engine cover exposes the entire power
train with easy accessibility to all vital
components and ser vice points.
Optirev - lower noise level, reduced fuel
consumption and lower emissions
The system, which is patented, reduces
the noise and keeps fuel consumption to
a minimum during lifting sequences in the
operating cycle by optimising the engine
revolutions compared to the weight of
the load, deection of the mast and the
machine speed at the time. The intelligent
and microprocessor-controlled Optirev
system is variable and installed in parallel
with the standard hydraulic system.
