For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are different models to be able 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.
In order for money to be made and a job to be completed successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs precise placement.
These machines are usually placed in harsh working environment with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics comprise 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 machines 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
Double stacking the containers is another vital step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present a really demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit 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 that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
