Kalmar has been developing machine which is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all around the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are various 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.
The containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that requires accurate placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, 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 in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. 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 many Kalmar machinery throughout the globe. Some 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
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 offers the new DCE100 model which was specially designed to perform 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 many units of forklift trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
