Kalmar has been making machine that is specially utilized in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays functioning and operating all over the world. Kalmar offers various 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, offering optimum balance of economy.
The containers have to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires accurate positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machines are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Several of the key factors to take into account when thinking about 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 offers the new DCE100 unit that was specially designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time 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 units of forklift trucks.
