For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of units in order to meet client's performance, and lifting height requirements. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, offering optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be earned and a job to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Several of the important factors to take into account when choosing single stacking machinery 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 provides the new DCE100 unit which was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of lift truck trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
