For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of models in order 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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which requires accurate placement.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities during 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 comprise their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines throughout the globe. Several of the key factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit that was particularly designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks.
