For many 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 offers various empty container handling machines. There are different units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. 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 task to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise placement.
These machines are usually placed in harsh working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, 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 machines, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment all around the globe. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 can present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
