Kalmar has been developing machinery which is particularly used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all over the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of models 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, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a job to be done successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which requires precise placement.
These machines are normally placed in harsh working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in addition to strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics consist of 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 numerous Kalmar machines throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of lift truck trucks.
