Kalmar has been designing machinery which is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all around the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. 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 moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the job to be completed. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which requires accurate placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines all over the world. Several of the important factors to take into account when choosing single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation can be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was specifically designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many units of lift truck trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
