For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machinery engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar provides a huge variety of empty container handling machines. There are various units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be completed successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking needs to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that needs accurate placement.
These machinery are usually placed in harsh working environment with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in combination with strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery all around the globe. Several of the important factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential step in increasing the production in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation can be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was specially made to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of lift truck trucks.
