For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of models to be able to meet customer's performance, and lifting height requirements. 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 completed successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which requires precise positioning.
The machinery 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 an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking equipment 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines throughout the world. Some of the important factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was particularly designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many units of lift truck trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
