Kalmar has been making equipment that 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 a wide range of empty container handling machinery. There are different units to be able to meet customer's performance, and lifting height requirements. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, offering optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking has to be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise positioning.
The equipment are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines all around the globe. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about 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 provides the new DCE100 model which was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of lift truck trucks.
