Kalmar has been designing equipment that is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the globe. Kalmar offers a huge variety of empty container handling equipment. There are different units 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 earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which requires accurate placement.
These machinery are normally placed in tough working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in addition to strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear 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 machines 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Some of the important factors to take into account when choosing single stacking equipment 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 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 specifically made 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.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks in order to meet a huge variety of applications.
