Kalmar has been designing machinery that is specifically adapted to the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar provides a huge variety of empty container handling machinery. There are various models 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 need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the task to be completed. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job that requires precise positioning.
The equipment are under such a stringent working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar equipment all around the world. 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 another vital step in increasing the productivity 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 that was particularly designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed many models of forklift trucks.
