For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machinery. There are different units in order to meet customer'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.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which requires accurate positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics consist of 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 many Kalmar machines throughout the world. Several of the key factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was particularly made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
