For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of units 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.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be completed successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs accurate positioning.
The machines are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machines throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to take into account 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 could present an extremely demanding application. 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 simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of forklift trucks.
