For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are various units 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, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be completed successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked fast, efficiently and safely. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that needs precise positioning.
The machinery are under such a stringent 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 an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals 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 machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery all around the globe. Several of the important factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be an extremely demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit that was specifically 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.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks.
