For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling machines. There are various units to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, client'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 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 job that requires precise placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar machines all over the globe. Some of the key factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more vital step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit which was particularly 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 many models of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
