For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machinery engineered 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 machines. There are a variety of units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, client'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 job to be done successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires precise positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines all around the world. Some of the important factors to take into account when choosing single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
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 provides the new DCE100 unit that was specifically made 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.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of forklift trucks.
