Kalmar has been developing machinery which is specifically utilized in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all around the world. Kalmar provides a huge variety of empty container handling equipment. There are different units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, client'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 earned and a job to be completed successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise placement.
The equipment are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machinery all around the world. Some of the key factors to consider when choosing single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was specifically made to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of forklift trucks.
