For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machinery engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar offers a huge variety of empty container handling machines. There are a variety of 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.
The containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the job to be done. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs accurate placement.
The machines are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in 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, 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 equipment all around the world. Some of the important factors to consider 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 one more important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present a really demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model that was particularly designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
