Kalmar has been making machinery which is specially used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all around the world. Kalmar offers a wide variety of 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 have to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the task to be completed. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which requires accurate positioning.
These machinery are often placed in tough working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
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 equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Several of the key factors to take into account when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was specially designed to fulfill 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, designed and engineered numerous models of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
