For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machinery engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar offers a huge range of empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of models in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. 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 task to be done successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking has to be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs accurate positioning.
These machinery are often placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, along with strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics include 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 numerous Kalmar machines all over the world. Some of the key factors to take into account 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 important 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 that was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of forklift trucks.
