For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machinery engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling machinery. 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, offering optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be moved and stacked fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that needs precise positioning.
The machinery are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those 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 equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some of the important factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 which was specially made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous models of forklift trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
