For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machinery engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling equipment. There are different models 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.
In order for money to be earned and a job to be done successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which requires precise positioning.
These machinery are often placed in tough working environment with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, 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 numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Several of the key factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the productivity 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 unit that was particularly made 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.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of lift truck trucks.
