For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of units in order 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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that needs accurate placement.
These equipment are usually placed in harsh working environment with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in combination with strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar equipment all around the world. Some of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential 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 that was particularly designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
