For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar provides a huge range of empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of 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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise placement.
These machinery are normally placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, along with strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit that was specifically designed to perform 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.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of lift truck trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
