For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are various units in order 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.
In order for money to be made and a task to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking needs to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job which needs accurate positioning.
These machinery are often placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics include 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 many Kalmar equipment all around the world. Some of the important factors to take into consideration when choosing 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 could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model that was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous models of lift truck trucks.
