For many years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machinery engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar offers a wide variety of empty container handling machines. There are different models in order to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. 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 fast, efficiently and safely. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking needs to be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that needs accurate placement.
These machines are often 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 a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and individuals working nearby.
Single Stacking
The main characteristics for single stacking machinery are 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 which are a common item on numerous Kalmar machines all over the world. Several of the key 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 one more important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation can present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model that was specifically designed 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, designed and engineered numerous models of lift truck trucks.
