For many 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 range of empty container handling machinery. There are various models 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.
The containers have to be moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking has to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that requires accurate placement.
These equipment are normally placed in tough working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in addition to strain on the abilities during 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, 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 machines all around the globe. Some of the important factors to consider 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 vital 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 offers the new DCE100 unit that was specifically designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of lift truck trucks.
