For many 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 offers various 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 moved and stacked quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be completed. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs accurate placement.
These equipment are often placed in harsh working conditions with heavy loads and demands being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, along with strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. 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 numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the globe. Some of the key factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential 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 offers the new DCE100 unit which was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of stability and strength 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 many models of forklift trucks.
