Kalmar has been developing equipment that is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are different 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.
The containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs precise positioning.
These machines are normally placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, as well as strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the production 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 specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks.
