Kalmar has been making equipment that is specially used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all around the globe. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of models to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be earned and a job to be completed successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise positioning.
These machines are normally placed in harsh working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, along with strain on the abilities in 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 machines, the main characteristics include 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 which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery all over the globe. Several of the important factors to consider when choosing 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 productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present a really demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was specially designed 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.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of forklift trucks.
