For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machinery. There are different units 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 job to be done successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which requires precise positioning.
These machines are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, as well as strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, 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 that are a common item on many Kalmar equipment all around the globe. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 can present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model that was specially designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of lift truck trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
