Kalmar has been making machine which is specially adapted to the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all around the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are a variety of units to be able to meet client's performance, and lifting height requirements. 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 job to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming task that requires accurate placement.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, mast and spreader, along with extreme user friendly abilities throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics consist of 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 machines all over the world. Several of the important factors to consider when thinking about single stacking machines are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another vital 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 unit that was specially 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 that tops selectivity demands.
In order to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered many models of lift truck trucks.
