For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machinery designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar provides a huge variety of empty container handling equipment. There are various 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, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate positioning.
These equipment are normally placed in harsh working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, as well as strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines throughout the globe. Some of the important factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking equipment 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 production 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 that was particularly designed to fulfill 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.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many units of lift truck trucks.
