Kalmar has been developing machine that is particularly utilized in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all around the world. Kalmar offers a huge variety of empty container handling machinery. There are various models to be able to meet client's performance, and lifting height requirements. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, offering optimum balance of economy.
The containers have to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that needs accurate placement.
The machines are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking equipment 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 equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machines throughout the world. Some of the important factors to consider when thinking about single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit which was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
