Kalmar has been developing equipment that is specifically utilized in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all around the globe. Kalmar offers a wide range of empty container handling machines. There are various models 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, offering optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be completed successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which requires accurate placement.
The machinery are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, spreader and mast, 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 people working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Several of the important factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many units of forklift trucks.
