Kalmar has been making machinery which is particularly used in 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 machinery. There are a variety of units to be able 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 made and a task to be completed successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires precise positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machinery all around the world. Several of the important factors to consider when thinking about single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another 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 stability and strength 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, designed and engineered many units of lift truck trucks.
