Kalmar has been developing equipment that is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now functioning and operating all around the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling equipment. There are different models 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, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers have to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the job to be done. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires accurate positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines 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 equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar equipment throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to take into account 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 that was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of lift truck trucks.
