Kalmar has been designing machinery that is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all around the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are different 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 stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise positioning.
These machinery are often placed in harsh working environment with heavy demands and loads 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 nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, 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 machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines all over the globe. Several of the important 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 essential step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was specially made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many units of lift truck trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
