Kalmar has been designing machinery which is particularly utilized in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all over the globe. Kalmar offers a wide variety of empty container handling machines. There are different units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. 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 fast, safely and efficiently. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs accurate placement.
These equipment are usually placed in tough working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in addition to strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Some of the key factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the production 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 specifically 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, designed and engineered many models of lift truck trucks.
