Rent the Kalmar DCG250 (25t capacity) – Triplex mast, 4,660 mm lift height
The Kalmar DCG250 is a heavy-duty forklift designed for loads of 25 tonnes and up—applications where standard industrial forklifts are no longer suitable. Featuring a triplex mast with a lift height of 4,660 mm and a load center distance of 1,200 mm, this machine handles the most demanding material handling tasks in ports, steel construction, and machinery manufacturing. Luibl Rental rents out the DCG250 complete with its own low-loader transport, DGUV safety certification, and technical support—available across Europe.

What tasks is the Kalmar DCG250 designed for?
The DCG250 is not a general-purpose heavy-duty forklift; it is built for precisely defined load scenarios. Its rated capacity of 25 tonnes at a 1,200 mm load center means it can handle loads that would push even an 18-tonne model—such as the Kalmar DCG180—to its limits.

Typical areas of application:

Container handling and port logistics: 20-foot containers loaded with steel products or heavy cargo can easily weigh 18–22 tonnes. The DCG250 handles the first row of containers at the terminal without needing a reach stacker. Adequate maneuvering space is required, as the turning radius is 5,875 mm.

Steel construction and metal processing: The DCG250 is used to load and internally transport steel beams, coils, and heavy semi-finished products. The load center is a critical factor here: with long loads or off-center pick-ups, the effective load center shifts significantly forward, reducing residual lifting capacity. It is essential to consult the machine's load chart. Precast concrete and building materials industry: Precast concrete elements, natural stone blocks, and large-format building material packs typically weigh between 20 and 25 tonnes. The triplex mast enables stacking at the second storage level or transfer to truck beds without unnecessarily increasing the truck's overall height in its retracted position.

Mechanical engineering and heavy industry: Presses, machine tools, and molds—internal transport on factory floors with defined load-bearing capacities. The permissible surface load must be verified before operation: the DCG250 weighs over 50 tonnes when loaded.

Timber industry and recycling: Heavy-duty handling of paper bales, logs, and scrap bundles. The DCG250’s diesel engine delivers the necessary torque, even during continuous operation and on unpaved surfaces. Technical Specifications – Kalmar DCG250 Triplex 4660 mm

The Triplex mast – when it is relevant
For the Kalmar DCG250, the Triplex mast is the configuration choice for applications requiring increased lift height while maintaining a manageable overall height. The three-stage mast design means:

The mast extends in three stages before reaching the full lift height of 4,660 mm. Compared to the standard duplex mast, the triplex mast allows for higher transfer points—such as when loading semi-trailers with raised load beds or filling hopper openings at raw material processing facilities.

The 1,550 mm free lift allows the load to be raised before the outer mast section extends—a crucial feature in warehouses with low ceilings or when mast height is a factor during travel.

Comparison of mast types for the DCG250:

Mast Type Lift Height Retracted Height Application
Standard / Duplex 5,000 mm 4,320 mm Outdoor areas, standard truck loading
Triplex 4,660 mm 2,735 mm Higher stacking levels, narrow doorways
Renting vs. Buying: When does renting make sense?
A new Kalmar DCG250 costs between €250,000 and €350,000, depending on specifications and model year. Used units start at approximately €100,000, while nearly-new units with low operating hours start at €148,000.

Renting is the more economical choice when:
