Kalmar has been designing machinery which is specially utilized in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all around the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are different units 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, offering optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires precise placement.
The machines are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, spreader and mast, 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 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential 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 particularly made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of lift truck trucks.
