For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar offers a huge range of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, client's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers have to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate placement.
The equipment 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 people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar machinery all over the world. Some of the key factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was specially made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of lift truck trucks.
