For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers could be found in operation all over the globe. Kalmar provides a wide variety of empty container handling machines. There are various models 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 earned and a job to be done successfully, the containers has to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs accurate positioning.
These machines are normally 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 throughout the handling process. Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and individuals working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar equipment throughout the world. Some of the key factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more vital step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation could present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 unit that was specially made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers at the same time is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of lift truck trucks to be able to meet a huge variety of applications.
