Kalmar has been designing machine which is specially used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machinery. There are different units to be able to meet client'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 need to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the task to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that needs precise placement.
These machinery are usually placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, along with strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics consist of 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 which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Several of the important factors to take into account when choosing single stacking machines are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An essential step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was specially designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time 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 numerous models of lift truck trucks.
