Kalmar has been designing machinery that is specially used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all around the world. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling machines. There are a variety of models 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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise positioning.
These machinery are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in combination with strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar machinery throughout the globe. Several of the important factors to take into consideration 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 vital step in increasing the productivity 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 specially made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of lift truck trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
