Kalmar has been making equipment that is specifically adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are different units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working atmosphere 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 a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar equipment all over the globe. Several of the important factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 a really demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was specially made to perform 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 many models of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
