For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing particularly made equipments designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar provides a wide range of empty container handling equipment. There are various units 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 have to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that needs precise placement.
The equipment are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machinery, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, 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 equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines all around the world. Several of the key factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking equipment are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit which was particularly made to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous models of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
