Kalmar has been developing machinery which is specially used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machinery. There are different 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 earned 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 which needs accurate placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working environment 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 people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. 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 machinery throughout the globe. Several of the key factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment 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 an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was particularly made to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of lift truck trucks.
