Kalmar has been developing machinery that is specifically used in the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar offers a huge variety of empty container handling machines. 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, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be done independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task which needs accurate placement.
These equipment are often placed in harsh working environment with heavy loads and demands 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 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 machinery feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar equipment all around the world. Several of the important factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
An essential step in increasing the production in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation can be an extremely demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar provides the new DCE100 model which was particularly made to fulfill 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.
