Kalmar has been developing equipment which is specially adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all around the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of models in order to meet lifting height requirements and, client's performance. 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 has to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs accurate placement.
These equipment are normally placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, along with strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics comprise 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 that are a common item on many Kalmar machinery throughout the globe. Several of the important factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another vital step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit which was particularly made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
