For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are a variety of models 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 have to be moved and stacked fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the task to be done. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which requires accurate placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, 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 all around the globe. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking machines are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more vital step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was particularly designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of lift truck trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
