Kalmar has been developing machine which is particularly utilized in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are various 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.
In order for money to be made and a job to be completed successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise positioning.
The machines are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machinery throughout the globe. Several of the important factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 an extremely demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit which was particularly designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of lift truck trucks.
