Kalmar has been designing machinery that is specially utilized in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the globe. Kalmar offers a wide variety of empty container handling machines. 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, providing 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 done. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent 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 those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. 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 machines throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another 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 offers the new DCE100 model that was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous models of lift truck trucks.
