Kalmar has been designing equipment which is specifically adapted to the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all over the world. Kalmar provides a huge range of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. 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 made and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics consist of 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 that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some of the key factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 can be an extremely demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of forklift trucks.
