Kalmar has been making machinery which is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the world. Kalmar offers various 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.
The containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the task to be completed. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise positioning.
These machines are often placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, as well as strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. 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 numerous Kalmar machinery all over the globe. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking equipment 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 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 unit which was particularly made to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of forklift trucks.
