Kalmar has been developing equipment that is specially adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all around the world. Kalmar offers a wide range of empty container handling machinery. There are various units to be able to meet customer'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.
The containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which requires precise positioning.
The machinery are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines throughout the world. Several of the key factors to take into account when choosing single stacking machinery 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 production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
