For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of units in order 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, 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 completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs accurate positioning.
These equipment are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, along with strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery all over the world. Some of the important factors to take into account when choosing single stacking machines are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 can present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was specifically 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 that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous models of lift truck trucks.
