For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machinery designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides a huge range of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of 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 earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which requires precise placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment all over the world. Several of the key factors to consider 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 production in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
