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 provides a wide variety of empty container handling equipment. There are various units 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, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers have to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the task to be completed. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which requires precise placement.
These machines are normally placed in tough working environment with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, along with strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed 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 machinery 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 numerous Kalmar machinery all over the world. Several 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
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 offers the new DCE100 unit that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of forklift trucks.
