For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar provides a huge range of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of models in order to meet customer'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 moved and stacked fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the task to be done. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which requires precise placement.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking equipment are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. 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 many Kalmar equipment all over the world. Several of the key factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another vital step in increasing the production 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 particularly designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of lift truck trucks.
