For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machinery designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machinery. There are different units to be able to meet customer's performance, and lifting height requirements. 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 earned and a job to be completed successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that needs accurate placement.
These machinery are usually placed in harsh working environment with heavy loads and demands 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 ensure extra safety for the operator and people 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 many Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some of the key factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was specially designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous models of lift truck trucks so as to meet a huge variety of applications.
