Kalmar has been designing machinery which is particularly adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machines. There are a variety of units to be able 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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the task to be completed. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires precise placement.
The equipment are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machinery throughout the globe. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit which was specially designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength 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 lift truck trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
