For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar provides a huge range of empty container handling equipment. There are various 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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking equipment are 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 which are a common item on many Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some 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
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 could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was specifically 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.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many units of lift truck trucks.
