Kalmar has been making machine which is specially used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all over the world. Kalmar offers a wide range of empty container handling machinery. There are different units to be able 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.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate positioning.
These machinery are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in addition to strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics include 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 which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines throughout the world. Several of the important factors to consider when choosing single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 may present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit which was specially made to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
