Kalmar has been designing equipment which is specially used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are various models to be able 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 made and a job to be done successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise placement.
These machinery are often placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are 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 that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines throughout the world. Some of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was particularly 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, designed and engineered numerous models of lift truck trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
