Prioritizing safety and operator ergonomics

Our EGO cabin offers the ultimate in ergonomics and safety. Numerous electronically operated adjustments allow the operator to tailor his workplace. The curved windows, which greatly improve visibility, have already become a classic with Kalmar forklift trucks.

The wheel is tiltable sideways, allowing the operator to temporarily change his visual angle, to see around bulky load in front of him. A new 300 mm lower carriage, available with the DCG180–250 versions, further improves visibility in the forward direction.
