Kalmar has been designing equipment that is specifically utilized in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all around the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machines. There are a variety of 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 have to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise placement.
The machinery are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, 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 people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. 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 machinery all over the world. Several of the important 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
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present a really demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of forklift trucks.
