Kalmar has been designing equipment that is particularly adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all around the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of models to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the task to be done. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise placement.
The machines are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, 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 people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, 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 machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar equipment all over the world. Some of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more 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 model which was particularly designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks.
