For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of models to be able to meet customer's performance, and lifting height requirements. 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 made and a task to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which requires precise placement.
These equipment are usually placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, along with strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics include 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 many Kalmar machinery all over the world. Several of the key factors to consider when choosing single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of lift truck trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
