For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made equipments engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are different 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, offering optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which requires accurate positioning.
These machinery are usually placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in combination with strain on the abilities during 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
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the globe. Several of the key factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation can be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
