For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling equipment. There are various units to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, client's performance. 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 moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise placement.
These equipment are normally placed in harsh working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in combination with strain on the abilities in 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 starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar equipment throughout the world. 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
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 that was particularly designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
