Kalmar has been making equipment which is particularly adapted to the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machines. There are different units to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, client's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, offering optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a job to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate positioning.
These equipment are normally placed in tough working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment all around the world. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation can be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit which was particularly made to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of lift truck trucks.
