For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling machinery. There are various units in order to meet client's performance, and lifting height requirements. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise positioning.
The equipment are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics consist of 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 which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment all around the globe. Some 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
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of lift truck trucks.
