For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar offers a huge variety of empty container handling machinery. There are different models 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 stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate placement.
The machines are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics include 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 many Kalmar equipment all around the globe. Several of the important factors to consider when choosing 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 could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was specially designed 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.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of lift truck trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
