For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar provides a huge variety of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of units in order 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.
The containers have 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 safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which requires precise positioning.
The equipment are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those 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 begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar equipment 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
An essential step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that 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.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of lift truck trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
