For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are various units 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, offering optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be completed successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise positioning.
These equipment are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and individuals working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment all over the globe. Some of the important factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability 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 numerous models of lift truck trucks.
