Kalmar has been developing equipment which is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the globe. 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, offering optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be completed. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs accurate placement.
The machines are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those 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 starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery all over the world. Several of the key factors to take into consideration when thinking about 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 productivity 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 that was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many units of lift truck trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
