For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machinery designed to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all around the globe. Kalmar offers a huge range of empty container handling machines. There are different 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.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs precise positioning.
The equipment are under such a rigorous working environment that this places heavy demands on the stability of the machine, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and people working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, 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 which are a common item on many Kalmar machines throughout the world. Several 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 productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be an extremely demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was particularly designed to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous units of forklift trucks.
