For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar offers a wide variety of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of models to be able 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 job 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. In general, it is a time-consuming task which requires precise placement.
These equipment are usually placed in tough working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, as well as strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed 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, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar machines throughout the world. Several of the important factors to consider when choosing single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential step in increasing the production in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation can be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model that was particularly made to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
