For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made equipments engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides a huge variety of empty container handling machinery. There are a variety of units to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, offering optimum balance of economy.
The containers have to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking needs to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that needs accurate positioning.
These machinery are normally placed in harsh working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, along with strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. 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 machines throughout the world. Several of the important factors to consider when thinking about single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit that was specially made to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks.
