Kalmar has been making equipment that is specifically adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all around the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are various models to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, client's performance. 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 quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the task to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise positioning.
These machines are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, along 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
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar machines throughout the world. Some of the key factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was particularly designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of forklift trucks.
