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 around the globe. Kalmar offers a wide variety of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of models to be able 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.
The containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise positioning.
The equipment 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 throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the globe. Several of the key factors to take into account when choosing single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 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 simultaneously 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.
