Kalmar has been developing equipment which is particularly used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the world. Kalmar provides a wide range of empty container handling machines. There are different models 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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be completed. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs accurate positioning.
The equipment are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics consist of 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 that are a common item on many Kalmar machines all around the globe. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An essential step in increasing the production 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 unit that was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of forklift trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
