For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. 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 task to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs precise positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities during 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 equipment are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. 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 many Kalmar machines throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to take into account when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 can be an extremely demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was particularly designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability 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 models of forklift trucks.
