Kalmar has been designing machine which is specifically utilized in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling machines. 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, 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 fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs accurate placement.
The machines are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout 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 machinery, the main characteristics comprise 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 which are a common item on many Kalmar machines throughout the world. Several of the key factors to consider 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 production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present a really demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was specifically made to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of lift truck trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
