Kalmar has been making equipment which is specially adapted to 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 equipment. There are a variety of models in order to meet client's performance, and lifting height requirements. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that needs accurate positioning.
These machines are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, as well as strain on the abilities during 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 machines, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar machines all over the globe. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more vital step in increasing the productivity 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 designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously 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.
