For many years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made machines designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machines. There are a variety of units in order to meet client'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.
The containers have to be stacked and moved fast, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that requires precise positioning.
The machines are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities during 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 machines, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. 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 numerous Kalmar machines all over the globe. Some of the important 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 one more vital step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was particularly made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many units of lift truck trucks.
