For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all over the world. Kalmar provides a huge variety of empty container handling equipment. There are various models in order to meet customer'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.
The containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise placement.
The machinery are under such a stringent working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, 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 machines, the main characteristics consist of 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 many Kalmar machines throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking machinery are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential 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.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of lift truck trucks.
