Kalmar has been making machinery that is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all around the world. Kalmar offers a huge range of empty container handling equipment. There are various models to be able 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 need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely, in order for money to be made and the task to be completed. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that needs precise positioning.
These equipment are usually placed in harsh working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, as well as strain on the abilities during the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
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 equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some of the important factors to take into consideration 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 another important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit which was specially designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks.
