For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made equipments engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar provides various empty container handling equipment. There are a variety of units in order to meet lifting height requirements and, client'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 need to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking needs to be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs precise positioning.
These equipment are usually placed in tough working conditions with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, 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 equipment, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some of the key factors to consider when choosing single stacking machines are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more important step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present a really demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was specifically designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of forklift trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
