Kalmar has been designing machine that is specifically utilized in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all around the globe. Kalmar provides various empty container handling machines. There are various units to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, offering optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking must be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise positioning.
These machines are normally placed in harsh working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. 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 equipment throughout the globe. Some of the important factors to take into consideration when choosing single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
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 offers the new DCE100 model which was specifically made to perform 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 lift truck trucks.
