Kalmar has been designing machine which is particularly adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machines. There are a variety of units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer'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 quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the job to be completed. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate positioning.
These machinery are usually placed in harsh working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in combination with 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 in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model that was specially made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of lift truck trucks.
