Kalmar spare parts by model: DRD, DRF and DRG reach stackers, DCE, DCF and DCG empty container handlers

Best Lift supplies new, equivalent and overhauled used spare parts for the Kalmar machines most common in ports and inland terminals: reach stackers of the three generations DRD, DRF and DRG, DCE, DCF and DCG empty container handlers from 8 to 10 t, heavy forklifts from 15 to 72 t. We also trade some of these machines as overhauled used equipment: see our 2020 Kalmar DRG 450-65S5E reach stacker and the 2015 Kalmar DCF80-45ES6 empty container handler.

On this page you will find, model by model, generation, engine and basic data, which is what you need to identify the machine and the right part: many Kalmar components are branded (Volvo Penta, Cummins, Dana, Kessler, ZF, Parker) and can be supplied either with the Kalmar part number or with the manufacturer’s own number.

How to read a Kalmar reach stacker designation

The designation says almost everything: DRG 450-65 S5 means DRG generation, 45 t capacity, six-and-a-half containers stacking height, S (standard) spreader for 5 rows. The final letters indicate the variants: X and XS for second and third row, C for combi spreader, E for Stage V engines, HE for the high-efficiency version, M for Stage IIIA markets. The generations match the production periods: DRD from 1996 to 2015, DRF from 2005 to 2015, DRG from 2018 to today.

Kalmar DCE, DCF and DCG empty container handlers

8 to 10 t empty container handlers with mast and single or double spreader for 20’–40′ empty containers. The designation gives the generation (DCE, DCF, DCG), the capacity (80 = 8 t, 90 = 9 t, 100 = 10 t), the load centre (45 = 4,500 mm, i.e. spreader) and the stacking height (E5–E8 = containers high).

Do you handle Kalmar spreader and twistlock parts?

Yes: twistlocks, cylinders, sensors, pads, chains, rotation gear motors and harnesses for reach stacker and empty container handler spreaders.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes, we ship spare parts worldwide, with particular experience towards the ports of Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
