Kalmar has been making machinery that is specially utilized in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all around the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are various units to be able to meet client'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.
The containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the task to be completed. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which requires precise positioning.
The machines are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities during 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 machines, 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Some of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another vital step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present a really demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit which was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
