For many 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 offers a wide variety of 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.
The containers have to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the job to be done. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise placement.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery all over the world. Some of the key factors to take into consideration 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 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 provides the new DCE100 model that was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of lift truck trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
