Kalmar has been designing machinery which is particularly adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are different models in order 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 earned and a job to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that needs accurate positioning.
The equipment are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking equipment are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machines 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 can be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit which 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 efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of lift truck trucks.
